Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, a fighter for democracy - poem by Stefano Donno

A man of the people, born in poverty,

Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, a fighter for democracy.

From humble beginnings, he rose up to lead,

His dedication and courage, a beacon to heed.

 

In the face of adversity, he never backed down,

For the rights of the people, he wore the crown.

A voice for the voiceless, a champion of the poor,

His legacy will endure, forevermore.

 

With passion and conviction, he spoke for the masses,

His spirit unbreakable, his commitment unsurpassed.

He stood up to power, with truth as his guide,

For a better tomorrow, he never tired.

 

Through his struggles and triumphs, he showed us the way,

To fight for justice, for a brighter day.

Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, a man of the people,

His spirit lives on, as an inspiration we shall keep.

Shinzō Abe, a leader of the land of the rising sun - poem by Stefano Donno

Shinzō Abe, a leader of the land of the rising sun,

With wisdom and grace, guides a nation as one.

His hands a rudder, steering through stormy seas,

A beacon of light, guiding with ease.

As a cherry blossom, he blooms with strength and grace,

A symbol of beauty, a reminder of life's precious pace.

With deep roots in tradition, he embraces change,

A modern-day samurai, his character, unscathed.

Eyes fixed on the horizon, he leads with foresight,

A visionary, committed to progress with all his might.

His policy a sword, slashing through barriers of the past,

Forging ahead, his people's future at last.

Like a falcon soaring high above the clouds, Shinzō Abe, a leader, his country,

endowed. From the peaks of Mount Fuji to Tokyo's city lights,

He leads his nation, with courage, through darkest nights.

A ray of hope, a beacon of light, Shinzō Abe, a leader rising to new heights.

May his reign be fruitful, his legacy bright,

As he leads Japan, with honor and might.

Oh Elvis Presley, the King of Rock and Roll - poem by Stefano Donno

Oh, the King of Rock and Roll,

A legend that will never grow old,

With his voice so bold,

And his hips that always rolled.

 

Elvis Presley, a name that rings,

In the hearts of fans, he still sings,

With his timeless hits that bring,

Memories of a bygone era, a golden spring.

 

From "Jailhouse Rock" to "Blue Suede Shoes",

He made us dance, he made us swoon,

And when he sang, we felt the blues,

As he poured his heart into every tune.

 

Oh, Elvis, how we miss you so,

But your music will never let us go,

For as long as there are stars that glow,

Your legacy will continue to grow.

 

Thank you, Elvis, for the memories,

For the joy you brought to our centuries,

Your spirit lives on, it never flees,

Forever the King, in our hearts, you seize.

CCCP ... NO FUTURE! poem by Stefano Donno

Amidst the chaos and the noise,

The revolution rang its voice,

In the streets of old Italy,

The punk rock band CCCP.

 

Their music was a rebellion,

Against the government's oppression,

A call for freedom and for change,

For a better world to arrange.

 

Their lyrics spoke of the struggles,

Of the poor and the downtrodden,

Of the workers and the youth,

Whose voices were often forgotten.

 

They sang of hope and of dreams,

Of a brighter future yet unseen,

Of a world where all are equal,

And justice reigns supreme.

 

Their sound was raw and unpolished,

But their message rang out clear,

A call to arms for the people,

To rise up and conquer fear.

 

Though their time may have passed,

Their legacy lives on and lasts,

As a reminder of the power,

Of music to change the hour.

 

So let us not forget,

The punk rock band CCCP,

And the revolution they ignited,

Through their music and their poetry.

So here's to The Beatles, our beloved band, their songs, our hearts will forever withstand ... poem by Stefano Donno

In the land of Liverpool,

A band emerged, so bold and cool,

Four lads with mop-top hair,

Their music echoed everywhere.

 

Their melodies, so sweet and pure,

Touched hearts, of that we're sure,

Sgt. Pepper's and Abbey Road,

Their timeless classics, never old.

 

With love and peace, they preached their word,

Their message, loud and clear, was heard,

From "Yesterday" to "Let it Be",

Their legacy lives on, forever free.

 

John, Paul, George, and Ringo,

Their bond, unbreakable, like bingo,

They changed the world, with their sound,

Their impact, profound, forever around.

 

So here's to The Beatles, our beloved band,

Their songs, our hearts will forever withstand,

With each note, they brought us joy,

Their music, our forever employ.

Linkin Park, you're the light I seek ... poem by Stefano Donno

In the darkness of my mind,

Where shadows roam and doubts unwind

A voice arises, bold and clear

Linkin Park, my heart can hear

 

Their melodies, so raw and true

Echo through me, straight and through

The lyrics speak of pain and strife

But also of hope and a will to thrive

 

Their music touches my very soul

And makes me feel less alone, less whole

For in their songs, I find a friend

Who understands and will not pretend

 

Linkin Park, your legacy lives on

Through the music that you have spawned

You may be gone, but your voice remains

In our hearts, in our thoughts, in our refrains

 

So I'll keep listening, day by day

To the tunes that help me find my way

For when the world seems dark and bleak

Linkin Park, you're the light I seek.

Led Zeppelin or Stairway to Heaven ... poem by Stefano Donno

In the land of ice and snow 

Where the mountains rise and the rivers flow 

There lies a sound that echoes deep 

A voice that speaks and a guitar that weeps

Led Zeppelin, the masters of rock 

Their music strong, their lyrics talk 

Of love and loss, of mystic lands 

And the beauty of a woman's hands

From Stairway to Heaven to Kashmir 

Their melodies will never disappear 

A celebration of the human soul 

A journey through the highs and lows

Their passion burns like a raging fire 

Their artistry takes us ever higher 

And though they may have left us long ago 

Their music lives on, forever aglow

So let us raise our hands and sway 

To the rhythm of Led Zeppelin's play

For in their songs, we find our way 

To a world of wonder, every day.

Aquaman, master of the sea ... poem by Stefano Donno

In the depths of the ocean blue,

Where the currents swirl and brew,
A hero rises from the deep,
To protect the creatures that creep.
 
Aquaman, master of the sea,
With a trident he wields with glee,
He battles foes with all his might,
And saves the day with his sea-sight.
 
His kingdom lies beneath the waves,
Where coral reefs form hidden caves,
And creatures great and small reside,
Protected by Aquaman's side.
 
He swims with sharks and whales so free,
Guiding them with his empathy,
And though he's often misunderstood,
He does what's right for the greater good.
 
So when danger looms from the land,
Aquaman is quick to take a stand,
For he knows the ocean's worth,
And will defend it with all his earth.
 
From the depths he will rise,
With a glint in his eyes,
And with his trident in his hand,
Aquaman will make his stand.
 

 

Lupin the Third, a legend they say, a master thief in his own unique way ... poem by Stefano Donno

In a world of shadows and intrigue, Where secrets lie and capers take seed, There strides a man of cunning and flair, With lupine grace...
