Mario is not the patient victim, who contemplatesunmoved the arrival of the enemy, he is not thecoward who is paralyzed before the darknesswhich fills the valley. The green of the trees stirshim, the smell of powder wakes him up, he is notthe man used to remain silent before injustice.His humanity gets the best of him and he isforced to show up and act. It is the act of thinking,the act of he who disagrees, who takes shelter inwords as a way of salvation and as a luxury act,because to keep being independent is such an actand only a few accomplish it.I celebrate this text. I hope the readers, besidesfeeling the challenge of finding out who theheroes and the rotters are, can also feel andpartake of the delight which is to know that italways healthy to fight the battles, that it isalways comforting to raise one's voice, even if noone answers, even if one believes all is wasteland,loss, and lost time the struggle against what isunjust.There is something beautiful in consistency.Poetry and the word know it.
