Author Maurizio Comotti by title

                                                    WORKERS

We have a suit and a helmet

eat sitting on the wall

fibers breathe in yards

Today pi & ugrave; poor yesterday

forced the & quot; chain" cooked with hands

You know the caste of the Palace as give a fuck

while in the living sported the Treccani

other factories will close tomorrow

lose home, family and hearth

for months we can no longer ugrave &; pay

manifestiamo, try listening, will continue to oversee

invoke poets and saints… veniteci the rescue…

such dignity & agrave;, hopes, dreams … future?

we do not just have to bang your head against the wall

precarious, desperate, suicides and violent

someone still takes it hard, stringe in denti

then we did not know of the deadly mineral

or that the roof might collapse

then by "Masters" words and Safety

betrayed like Christ, deprived of all certainty

Today we pay to die …

mostly & ugrave; in silence

and … if I decide to talk? … tomorrow will fire you!
