Opening Speech For An Annual Day Function

Violence against children ....

Sorry for the absence, but return to normal after the holidays is always hard. Today, I would rather discuss a topic hard. Child abuse! One of the scourges of modern society. Unsuspecting pedophiles (priests, people with a certain social culture), infanticide, etc., all too often, we hear the media of these sad and scary events. And I must say, that the penalties (at least in Italy) are still too light for these crimes (especially child abuse). Why abuse a child is one of the most despicable that a man can do. A child, an innocent human being, which is harmless. I feel deep anger over this. And civil society has to react against such violence. Also because most child abuse takes place in the home, and many of them are not even reported. Stuff to third world. This brief reflection I was inspired by listening to a song, Canenero of Subsonica (part of the new album The eclipse ). Rarely, as in this case, the music has dealt with this issue in a manner so open. Reading the text you will realize on their own.

Canenero - Subsonica

If I'm afraid to hear the silence
if I can not scrape the
remember that dark voice inside me
is a locked door that leads into me is

pain away that no one should see those hands up when

me that mouth
dark on me if I am afraid to hear the silence
if I can not cut the
remember that dark voice inside me
is a locked door that leads into me is a pain

child that nobody wanted to listen
perhaps did not understand what I did not dare ask why

is back here

will know what those hands on me breath
dirt on me
says is like a game
says it's nearly
that does not do so
bad and you can not escape that one can not escape

here you can not escape back into sleep
canenero
I scream for breath
those dark hands on me
that dirty mouth on me many times crying in his sleep

to rip off the memory
that door closed around me
that voice inside of me is closed
canenero
back to sleep I scream for breath
those hands still on
me that dirty mouth on me
how many times I cried in my sleep
to feel safe again
that door closed around me that voice

dark inside of me if I am afraid to hear the silence
if I can not scrape the
remember that door closed around me
is a closed door and the door inside of me

child is a pain that no one wanted to see while I did not understand what

I did not dare ask why
says is like a game
says it's nearly

and I can not tell you can not escape
here you can not escape back into sleep
canenero
I scream for breath
those dark hands on
me that dirty mouth on me many times crying in his sleep

to rip off the memory
that door closed around me
shut that voice inside me
canenero
back to sleep I scream for breath, her hands still on

me that dirty mouth on me
how many times I cried in my sleep to feel safe again
that door closed around me
that voice in the dark
canenero me back to sleep I scream for breath

those dark hands on me that

dirty mouth on me many times crying in his sleep of tearing off the memory
that door closed around me locked inside this voice
