I was born in the land of Sicily in that of Sciacca, i have always loved poetry, writing verses, but above all culture, true culture, food for the soul! So far i have written more than 4000 poems, i also write philosophical reflections and thoughts.
In 2018 i was awarded by the Academy of Sicily, Academic of Sicily. I don’t like to participate in literary competitions, because culture, in my view: it is Freedom is Free Spirit, it is Soul in Motion, it must never be harnessed!
To date, my lyrics have been published on the international poetic scene:
Revista Azahar who edited my first Silloge of Poems in Spanish: Encantamiento y Palabras como Plumas; some of my poems published
in The Silk Road Anthology: Nano Poems for Africa; my other lyrics published on the official website of the “Galassia Poetica Atunis”, including one in Russian;
my other works published on the official WorldSmith International Editorial website; publication of my poems in OPA The Poetry Journal.
I founded a theater company in Sciacca: Theatrum Socialis Sciacca. I also founded a Lions Club, Sciacca Terme.
Finally, i believe that Poetry will be the weapon with which humanity will make its life free, and furthermore Beauty will always be a truth that will never be buried: from the times and events of daily human life.
Francesco Favetta Italy (Sicily)
Decided without fear!
Step by step
if there is no end
dressed as a protagonist
this warrior heart
his courage will scream
to the moon and the stars.
Light inside the veins
respect and will to live
feed my every thought
enchantment in the eyes
and voice never tired
they shake my blood.
Decided without fear
imprint in the ground
my footsteps as a man
while my life
like a saber
never fear the dark.
My skin becomes red
the fire inflames the face
hands are companions
together with my mouth
than like a volcano
explodes the truths and reasons.

Жертвы этого мира
Это песни без слов
приливы забвения
пропасти такие глубокие
которые обитают в недрах
и учат жить
внутри этой жизни
шокирован насилием.
Жертвы этого мира
семьи и кресты
вокруг смерти танцуют
их держат за руки
отчаянно они кричат
боль и гнев ран
нанесены людьми без веры.

The sea of life
It is like the sea
stormy
emotions stir
the stunned thoughts
forgotten anchors
backdrops
still invisible
a vast ocean blue
to explore navigate.
We are small boats
the waves of life
they always toast
every moment
to our adversities
shores and hopes
they are landings
hoped for.
Let’s sail
silently
storms
the swollen seas
storms
and storm surges
they sweep like volcanoes
the faint memories
the tides bring us back
back in time.
We smile drowned
in the blue
marine waters
like castaways
we breathe
life and salt
forgetting
the acrid taste
some blood
that flows
in the sea
of life.
