Uomini, uomini del mio presente
non mi consola l'abitudine a questa mia forzata solitudine.
Io non pretendo il mondo intero, vorrei soltanto un luogo, un posto più sincero
dove magari un giorno molto presto io finalmente possa dire questo è il mio posto
dove rinasca, non so come e quando, il senso di uno sforzo collettivo per ritrovare il mondo.
L'appartenenza è assai di più della salvezza personale
è la speranza di ogni uomo che sta male e non gli basta esser civile.
E' quel vigore che si sente se fai parte di qualcosa
che in sé travolge ogni egoismo personale
con quell'aria più vitale che è davvero contagiosa.
Benvenuto il luogo dove tanta gente non fa massa.
Giorgio Gaber (1939 – 2003)
