A Psalm of Life
"TELL me not in mournful numbers
Life is but an empty dream!
For the soul is dead that slumbers
And things are not what they seem.
Life is real! Life is earnest!
And the grave is not its goal;
Dust thou art to dust returnest
Was not spoken of the soul.
Not enjoyment and not sorrow
Is our destined end or way;
But to act that each to-morrow
Find us farther than to-day.
Art is long and Time is fleeting
And our hearts though stout and brave
Still like muffled drums are beating
Funeral marches to the grave.
In the world's broad field of battle
In the bivouac of Life
Be not like dumb driven cattle!
Be a hero in the strife!
Trust no Future howe'er pleasant!
Let the dead Past bury its dead!
Act act in the living Present!
Heart within and God o'erhead!
Lives of great men all remind us
We can make our lives sublime
And departing leave behind us
Footprints on the sands of time;
Footprints that perhaps another
Sailing o'er life's solemn main
A forlorn and shipwrecked brother
Seeing shall take heart again.
Let us then be up and doing
With a heart for any fate;
Still achieving still pursuing
Learn to labor and to wait."
G. Longfellow

On death....
"He who is silent and bows his head
dies every time he does so.
He who speaks aloud and walks
with his head held high dies only once."
Giovanni Falcone
Giovanni Falcone; 18 May 1939 – 23 May 1992 - was an Italian judge who spent most of his professional life trying to overthrow the power of the Sicilian Mafia that had become a state unto itself. He was killed by the mafia in Sicily in May 1992 with the implicit contribution and betrayal by members of the Italian government state apparatus.
Italy (like Colombia, Mexico, Russia etc etc etc) has seen many martyrs in the course of attempting justice that have included honorable men and women from all professions that were abandoned by a weak cowardly corrupt and complicit state. Their only fault: a scrupulous integrity and commitment to law.
Those killed by just one of the many various mafias of Italy are listed below:
