>>9473568
No.

>>9473683
That's because people don't read literature.

Somehow Italia thinks this is a good poem:

Esistenza

Ritrovarmi in questo ovale
con un legame vitale
in solitudine a volteggiare
con l 'infinito aspettare
di qualcosa.
Sognare
di poter camminare
in un nuoto perpetuo
di pensieri
intravedendo una luce bianca.
La fine di tutto.
Uno schiocco
Un pianto.
La nascita della vita in bracccio a giganti biancheggianti.
Crescendo vidi cose senza senso
cosciente del perduto collettivo senno.
Vidi uomini con biancheggianti vestiti
baciare e non procreare
di fronte a un freddo altare
in nome di una croce
e un continuo narrare.
Esseri travestiti
professare falsi miti
e scuole dove si imparava a vivere
lasciando l'intelligenza reprimere.
Sicuri di un tranquillo lavoro
si sedevano su un falso trono
lasciando che un finto quadrato
rubassero loro gli anni d'oro.
Ed ora piano piano mi invecchio
sperando ancora in un qualche cambiamento.
Disteso in un biancheggiante letto
rimango cosciente che della vita
e delle esperienze connesse ad essa
non mi interessa piu niente.
Tutto improvvisamente si illumina di bianco
e mi appresto al grande salto.
Ma con me non posso portare nient'altro
che un tatuaggio
situato dentro al cuore
con impresso dentro il nome
di quella persona che in questa vita
mi diede tanto amore.

God I hate this country.

I didn't implied anything m8. You're problably a lazy brainlet who can read only in your native tongue. There, now I'm implying something.

I am not Italian but I can read Pasolini's poems in Italian, as well as your terrible posts in English (also a foreign language to me).

How does it feel to be so wrong? What's your secret to be that stupid?

Not a huge Kerouac fan plus I know /lit/ hates him, but I cry every time I think of that handsome dude drinking himself to a fat bloated crummy alcoholic death.

>Socrates
Wrote nothing

>>9473240
I knew he was a poet but I thought he was mostly known for his filmmaking?
