Exploring Mpho Sebina's Artistic Appreciation of her African and Setswana Roots

By Atang Moalosi and Tefo Kosie

Hailing from the Kgatleng District’s capital Mochudi is Mpho Sebina, a singer-songwriter who has immersed herself in producing and creating the continent's best jazz, soul, and afro-fusion music. A self-proclaimed Pan-Africanist, Mpho's music has been a true reflection of expressing her African and Tswana roots through cognizant use of local rhythmic instrumentation and vocal progressions, to say the least.

The love and use of indigenous elements prevailed notably in her 2015 debut single 'Loves Light' which she explains was inspired by the song Tselane by BLK JKS which is loosely based on a Tswana folktale 'Tselane'. The song, produced by local legendary beatmaker Favi includes elements of the staple beats and claps of traditional folk music production fused with soul. The music video features a cameo of traditional dancers and showcases the landscape of Botswana from the luscious water basins to the barren semi-desert land with the soundtrack playing behind the eye-catching visuals laying a foundation of Mpho’s start to dominance in the music scene.

stills from the 'Tjuele' music video directed by Thina Zibi

It would take a whole two years for Mpho to return and release two songs leading up to the release of her debut EP 'Neo' with very memorable moments such as the song ‘Tjuele’ which is a rendition of another famous setswana folktale with the same name. The song features ATI, another local music giant who sings the chorus repeatedly in the background. This music video in contrast only features Mpho (Tjuele's mother) and a young girl (Tjuele). In the first scene, Mpho is seen caressing the young girl’s hair, both draped in white dresses. Behind them is a famous portrait of a black woman and her son, which is beloved among the black community directly linking to the thematic affectionate scenery painted by the song and the visuals. The song has this continuous click-clack sound, reminiscent of the tune of clapping hands and matlhoa or traditional leg rattles used as a part of uniform for typical traditional dance. Remarkably Tjuele is the only song in the project sung in Setswana.

stills from the 'Slip Away' music video directed by Mpho Sebina and Motheo Moeng

‘Slip Away’ is another beautiful 5-minute song from the Neo EP of Mpho harmonizing over a midtempo beat, the song was also accompanied by a set of visuals that captures the hustle and bustle of the city of Accra in Ghana. The video includes many beautiful shots including Mpho having her hair plaited in the streets, women dressed in beautiful African attire and women carrying their belongings over their heads which is a very common practice amongst African women.

‘LORA’

'Lora' album cover designed by Tebogo Cranwell and Neo Rakgajane

‘Lora’ is Mpho Sebina's debut album, released in 2020 five years after introducing the world to her very enigmatic sound. The album cover itself is quite a striking piece. With its shade of blue background, it only highlights certain parts of Mpho's half-bodily features. The first thing noticeable is the pink highlighted corn rows, her lips and some African beads which include cowrie shells deemed very valuable in most African cultures. This album is easily Mpho's most definitive record, both sonically and visually as it sets her among the most highly decorated singers the continent boasts.

stills from the 'Pula' music video directed by Yannis Sainte-rose

The lead single 'Pula' is taken from the setswana song 'Pula Nkgodisa' which translates to ‘Rain, help me grow’ and the “Rain Rain Go Away” song. She uses rain as a metaphor for pain and shows struggle with the lyrics 'Rain Rain Go Away, I wanna go out and Play’. Later in the song she employs rain as a metaphor for growth posing a divergent perspective with lyrics 'Pula Nkgodise, Pula Mphodisa'. This song reflects on times of struggle and hope as it was released in 2020 when the world was heavily gripped by the coronavirus pandemic and a worldwide lockdown. The music video includes shots of Mpho wearing an African print headwrap and cardigan along with her Bantu knots. The conscious use of Setswana lyrics and visual nuances further displays Mpho's love for making music that centers her heritage as a Motswana.

stills from the Melodi music video directed by Yannis Sainte-rose

The song ‘Melodi's’ music video features Mpho Sebina in a few shots where she is covered by cloth and some other noteworthy scenes with her in front of the backdrop of the abstract painting which matches the colour of her African headwrap. The constant use of African clothing and artefacts in and around her visual presentations accompanying the already Afrocentric sonics just solidify the passion behind the endemic standard she has set for herself.

stills from the Dumelang music video directed by Mpho Sebina

‘Dumelang’ is a very warm and welcoming song that pretty much highlights a very important aspect of Botswana's culture-the standard gesture of greeting. The song hosts a confident Mpho giving the listeners a brief tour of the beautiful country and her own experiences within the context of the song. It also boasts visual excellence, a highly decorated facet of Mpho Sebina as an artist by showcasing parts of Botswana's culture, including scenes of her dressed in clothing sourced from local brands, also sweeping with a traditional broom/ ‘lefeelo la ditlhokwa’ close to a three-legged pot which is quite reminiscent of a traditional home in a village. Other shots include local art persons cameos including Dato Seiko, Nature Inger along with Mboko Basiami the founder of Glotto, a pan-African clothing brand from Botswana. Notably, Mpho is also seen wearing Zulu female head attire called “isicholo”, and the Basotho hat known as “lekorotlo”. Throughout the video, Mpho is dressed in clothing sourced from local brands.

‘Ntsha Nkgo’ is another rendition of a traditional song with the same title, which is often sung during ceremonies. The song touches on aspects of typical traditional celebratory ceremonies, including the culture of sharing traditional beer among family and friends especially older men hence the line ''Ntsha Nkgo re kgaritlheng le bannabagolo''. The sacred events normally include the slaughtering of an animal to be feasted during the ceremony ''Ko Boseja go tlhabilwe Kolobe hoki''

Renditions of traditional folk songs remain a constant theme in Mpho's music as she also reworks 'Sananapo' a song from a well-known folktale in 'Sananapo's Interlude'. Folktales and songs are essential in traditional culture as they are often used as a form of entertainment and an opportunity for the elderly to pass on and teach the younger generation about customs and values which are indigenous to us. Mpho's modern twist to these songs helps revive the connection between Batswana and their culture especially in modern times where most of the older generation believes that our culture is being eroded.

As we await the release of Mpho's sophomore album, It is well evident that Mpho will always centre her African heritage on her music. Alkebulan, which is the name of the next album, is quite an interesting name as it is believed to be the original name for Africa according to the oldest nubian and kinetic texts. In her interview with Drum Magazine, Mpho reveals that her album will feature female artists from different parts of Africa to celebrate the women and their africaness. She also stated that she was influenced by the various sounds of African music.

Torna - The Golden Country: Thoughts

;-;

-All unique monsters besides the gold ones defeated, full community, all affinity charts completed, full pouch item completion.

-Game looks and sounds great, though there's definitely signs of age nowadays due to pop-in and texture loading

-Gameplay is top notch, despite my complaining about certain things. Driver, Blade and Fusion combos combined with XC2's version of the Chain Attack is candy for the brain. A streamlined XC2 experience that's perfect for Torna's shorter campaign. However, I wouldn't want the same systems in the main game tbh, even the easier elemental orb stacking. I feel both systems fit their respective games just fine.

-Exploration is fun! Collection points as a whole are better than XC1's item orbs IMO, though I imagine I'll have less of a grand time with base XC2's version since there's nothing marking them there as minerals, vegetables, etc. Same thing with Field Skills, as since there's only six Blades required for the adventure, there's less to manage, but XC2 is bigger and more varied, with many more field skills to lock chests and locations behind.

-I know that the Community aspect of the game is divisive, as it locks main story progress behind it, but... honestly I don't mind. The game without its quests is extremely short, and the Community honestly adds another emotional kick to the gut by the time you get to the end. Besides, there's so few quests anyway that it's not that much of a time sink/waste.

-Story and characters made me cryyyyyy. Knowing the futures of all the Blades in the party makes a turbulence of emotions in my stomach, and Lora, Addam, and Hugo were all splendid protagonists to follow. Seeing just how great and grand Torna was (again, thanks to story, characters, and quests) really sets up the main game of XC2 well, as you'd definitely feel its presence lost.

-MILTOOOOOON 😭😭😭

-Gonna take a break before starting main game XC2, I need a nap to stop the tears

Margaery the Winter Widow AU

Okay, I have been thinking of the Margaery the Widow of Winterfell Idea more all day and it has exploded because suddenly I am thinking of other complications that result from this alliance and also just general vibes. A bit long, so under the cut.

-> It is a Book/TV Show Fusion with the TV Show's timeline of three buffer years and incredibly self-indulgent mix of what I liked from both.

-> Starts during Season 2/A Clash of Kings with some key differences.

1.) Margaery and Loras arrive in the tent right before Renly is murdered. They also witness the magic and together with Brienne escape the camp. Loras gives them a chance to escape and makes Brienne swear to get Margaery to safety. This leads to Margaery going on a side quest accompanying Brienne and Catelyn back to the Starks temporarily.

2.) Margaery scouts them out during this time and gets a good read on Robb, Catelyn, and the Northerners. When she gets word to her family and they come to retrieve her and thank the Starks for taking care of her, she offers her opinions on the matter. The Queen of Thorns has been chasing some of her own whispers about Joffrey and Margaery quietly points out that there is another King. It is risky, but the reward could be immense and the potential Lannister alliance has already started to sour due to them being unable to join them with Loras missing and the rush to secure Margaery leading to them at least temporarily treating with the Starks.

3.) The Tyrells offer up an alliance for marriage. Not a betrothal but one that must be secured immediately. Margaery has already been carefully working Robb and Catelyn supports the alliance. The must break the betrothal with the Freys. Robb does. Margaery sweet talks him into softening the blow with more offers of fostering and, eventually, Edmure as a groom. The Frey response is chilling.

4.) Without the Tyrell backup things aren't as resolved as quickly in King's Landing and it goes worse. I like the scene with Cersei on the Iron Throne and in this no one is there to stop her when she thinks the city falls.

5.) Sansa has a brief moment of taking charge to help a boy who looks the same age as Robb, by carrying him into one of the empty halls and helping sew up the wound. This escalates as she finds a Maester and more wounded keep getting directed to the area she has accidentally setup as a makeshift hospital. She's shaky and pale and praying certain people day, but the women of the Court she's calmed with her singing follow her when she is there and slowly some of them join her in helping tend to the wounded by sewing, bringing water/milk of the poppy, or helping clean them. Others she directs to help track supplies and keep the children occupied and safely out of the way. The Battle turns into a short siege that doesn't break until the days later and Sansa has fallen into the rhythm of directing her small corner of the Court by imitating her mother, father, and Cersei, who is missing, in turns. Shae stays with her and Sansa feels more grateful for her presence each day.

6.) Sansa is dead on her feet with the Maester she has become on some speaking turns to when she is "found". Apparently, she has been unaccounted for much like Cersei, Tommen, and Joffrey. The battle and the slow confirmation of what was going on meant that she'd slipped their minds until Tywin had a moment to breath and make sure she was secured. She almost weeps as she realizes she could have left. Tywin has her brought to him and puts her under guard and sends her to her rooms.

7.) Sansa collapses and sleeps for a full day, eventually taking a bath, and being brought food but discovering she has been locked in and is guarded. She remains so for days until she is summoned to Tywin again. He has had time to take account for her actions and is, grudgingly impressed, he informs her of how they will proceed and of the deaths that occurred and how he has been informed of his grandson's actions. He bluntly states such treatment will cease. She will be Joffrey's bride and the Queen. He tells her suitable clothing will need to be found for the funeral and that she will attend the next day. Just full Tywin and Sansa conversations. Or, at least, him talking at her.

8.) Cersei and Tommen's funerals with Sansa having some of her vicious thoughts against her and finally hearing more about the battle, including how Joffrey was found shaking under his bed.

9.) One of the people Sansa cared for comes to thank "Lady Stark" and this is the first hint of change in Sansa's status. The other noblewomen who'd helped her, greet her instead of avoiding her and some even seem sincere. She and Shae don't trust it.

10.) Sansa notices the instability in Court and how unsure everyone seems. Genna Lannister is summoned by Tywin to help steady things out. She takes a keen interest in Sansa who watches her as well. She is there to help prepare Sansa for her expected role and the marriage.

11.) Sansa starts gaining a foothold in court and vows that she will kill her husband.

12.) Margaery and Robb bond and Margaery finds herself fond of her second husband. He makes her slip up an be honest. He makes her laugh for real, a pig snort kind of laughter she's always hid behind sweet giggles. When her mask drops he comforts her. He listens to her solemnly but smiles like the sun in rare, rare moments. She's worried she is a little too fond of him. She's even getting used to Grey Wind who she is terrified of.

13.) Sansa-Joffrey Wedding and Robb-Margaery Wedding parallels.

14.) Margaery and the Tyrells presence and actions subtly influence Robb's campaign. Mace is killed. Robb and Margaery comfort each other about the shared loss of fathers.

15.) Power struggles in Court and Sansa building up her influence through charity and socializing while dealing with Joffrey. She realizes Shae and Tyrion are lovers and accepts it because she loves Shae who loves her back just as much.

16.) Tywin-Joffrey tensions as he tries to control him and oddly Tywin-Sansa bonding.

17.) The Red Wedding occurs.

18.) Sansa discovers her family is dead and Varys approaches her.

19.) Margaery is attacked and gets escorted out by her guards and Grey Wind who refuses to leave her side. News reaches them of Robb and Catelyn's death. The North is not quite as destroyed but seemingly has no leader. Margaery and Olenna are taken to Greywater Watch where many have been gathering and Margaery discovers she's pregnant. Olenna offers moontea and the chance to return home and leave the North. Margaery has been denying she's in mourning and in love trying to think of the "best" choice. Right up until something reminds her of Robb and she hides out in a corner. She cries, ugly soppy tears, and finds a hidden figure a Northerner who she doesn't recognize but treats her kindly and then she realizes who it is. Ned Stark lived.

20.) Margaery decides to stay as a Widow Queen and keeps the baby while a Northern Civil War starts to build itself up to overthrow the Boltons with those who'd betrayed Robb and those staying with the Starks.

21.) Margaery-Ned bond as the baby grows.

22.) Jaime arrives to find confirmation that Cersei is gone and a terrible mirror of his youth with a Mad King and a Queen he cannot protect. Jaime is not stable and doing poorly but focuses on his vow to Catelyn and convincing Sansa of his and Brienne's seriousness.

23.) Sansa gets pregnant and begins to bond with Jaime and the distressed Brienne.

24.) Littlefinger vanishes.

25.) Instead of a Purple Wedding, Sansa has twins, a daughter and a son.

26.) Ramsay arrives to give Roose Bolton's regards and loyalty. He and Joffrey bond.

27.) Joffrey gets worse as his and Sansa's official coronation approaches.

27.) Joffrey has Tywin killed and takes control of the Red Keep.

28.) Sansa leads a coup and frames Ramsay for the murder, cleanses the Keep, and the King's Guard and declares war on Roose Bolton who "betrayed his liege lord and his king and broke sacred rites". Sansa is declared Queen until her children are of age.

29.) Stannis denounces Sansa as a traitor.

30.) Jon is killed by his men and brought back he hears that Sansa is Queen and says he'll go to her directly to ask for reinforcements. They reunite and they both break a little at the sight of each other. Sansa confesses the truth, she killed Joffrey and Ramsay and she intends to go for Roose. She knows she can't take back the North, she's tainted now and Jon comforts her, assuring her she'll always be a Stark. She returns the acknowledgement and asks him if he will take it for her. He freezes up but she says she can't, which means she's convinced she doesn't deserve it due to how she's had to change to survive.

31.) Jon goes up North and discovers the Great Northern Conspiracy and discovers Ned and Margaery and Robb's son.

32.) Everyone is convinced Jaime Lannister is ruling through Sansa.

33.) The Starks take back the North. There is talk of Jon and Margaery marrying and Ned talks them out of it and offers a revelation.

34.) Robb meanwhile is in the East trying to get back West, after he was dragged out of Westeros to escape. He encounters Arya and convinces her to come home with him.

35.) Reunion as they find each other once more. The only one left in the War is Stannis who will not stop. Ned is furious at the sight of Lannisters but they are thoroughly loyal to Jaime who is loyal to Sansa, whom they call the Red Lion. Sansa grants the North their independence and returns the Crown of Winter.

35.) Turns out Littlefinger has been helping Daenerys for reasons no one can figure out. And he has two very important pieces, a Catelyn Tully, whose injuries made her lose her memories and control of the Vale he throws behind Stannis to "avenge" Lord Arryn he convinces the Lords was murdered by the Lannisters.

36.) With the Kingdoms, mostly, united the preparations against the Long Night are more solid. Sansa begins evacuating people South and moving to secure the North.

37.) Aegon, the Mummers Dragon, attacks distracting Sansa, who now feels responsible for those sworn to her.

38.) Robb arrives to help her and they cry as she introduces him to the kids and tells him about his son. With him is Theon who he reunited with and whom Sansa had sent to find her sister if he wanted her forgiveness.

39.) Wildfire is just as useful as Dragonfire against the Others.

40.) Stannis reluctantly concedes the throne when they call a Great Council rather than continue a War. Several claimants are put forward. Sansa wins.

41.) To Oberyn Martell, Sansa sends the Mountain and Myrcella Martell visits her goodsister in turn, smiling to reunite with her Uncle.

-> This is incredibly rough and there will be a lot more going on, but Margaery and Sansa are the central hubs around which things turn. It's only called the Margaery Widow story due to the vivid image I had of her mourning clothes and the idea of Sansa marrying Joffrey and getting called the Red Lion. And then proceeding to kill her husband.

-> Unsure about Sansa's endgame. Maybe Jonsa? I read some fun fics I've read making me want to try it out and because I think it is thematically interesting as a set up, but unsure. Within the setup Jaime and she do fit since they mirror each other so often, but I am hardcore Brienne/Jaime.

-> Not really Dany anything for this fic. She'd honestly be more of a epilogue character.

Why India’s Drone Industry Needs Periplex: The Hardware Tool Drones Didn’t Know They Needed

As drones fly deeper into critical roles — from agricultural intelligence to autonomous mapping, from disaster response to military ops — the hardware stack that powers them is undergoing a silent revolution.

At the center of that transformation is Periplex — a breakthrough tool from Vicharak’s Vaaman platform that redefines how drone builders can interface with the real world.

What is Periplex?

Periplex is a hardware-generation engine. It converts JSON descriptions like this:{ "uart": [ { "id": 0, "TX": "GPIOT_RXP28", "RX": "GPIOT_RXN28" } ], "i2c": [ { "id": 3, "SCL": "GPIOT_RXP27", "SDA": "GPIOT_RXP24" }, { "id": 4, "SCL": "GPIOL_63", "SDA": "GPIOT_RXN24" } ], "gpio": [], "pwm": [], "ws": [], "spi": [], "onewire": [], "can": [], "i2s": [] }

…into live hardware interfaces, directly embedded into Vaaman’s FPGA fabric. It auto-generates the FPGA logic, maps it to kernel-level drivers, and exposes them to Linux.

Think of it as the “React.js of peripherals” — make a change, and the hardware updates.

Real Drone Applications That Truly Need Periplex

Let’s break this down with actual field-grade drone use cases where traditional microcontrollers choke, and Periplex thrives.

1. Multi-Peripheral High-Speed Data Collection for Precision Agriculture

Scenario: A drone is scanning fields for crop health with:

2 multispectral cameras (I2C/SPI)

GPS + RTK module (2x UART)

Wind sensor (I2C)

Sprayer flow monitor (PWM feedback loop)

ESCs for 8 motors (PWM)

1 CAN-based fertilizer module

The Periplex Edge: Microcontrollers would require multiple chips or muxing tricks, causing delays and bottlenecks. With Periplex:

You just declare all interfaces in a JSON file.

It builds the required logic and exposes /dev/pwm0, /dev/can0, etc.

Zero code, zero hassle, zero hardware redesign.

2. Swarm Communication and Custom Protocol Stacks

Scenario: Swarm drones communicate over:

RF LoRa (custom SPI/UART)

UWB mesh (proprietary protocol)

Redundant backup over CAN

Periplex lets you:

Create hybrid protocol stacks

Embed real-time hardware timers, parity logic, and custom UART framing — none of which are feasible in most MCUs

Replacing Microcontrollers, Not Just Augmenting Them

| Feature | Microcontroller | Periplex on Vaaman | |---------------------------|----------------------------|------------------------------------| | Number of peripherals | Limited (4–6) | Virtually unlimited (30+ possible) | | Reconfiguration time | Flash + reboot | Real-time, dynamic reload | | Timing precision | Software-timer limited | FPGA-grade nanosecond-level timing | | AI compatibility | Not feasible | Integrated (Gati Engine) | | Sensor fusion performance | Bottlenecked | Parallel FPGA pipelines |

Developers Love JSON, Not Register Maps

No more:

Scouring 400-page datasheets

Bitmasking registers for I2C configs

Writing interrupt handlers from scratch

Just declare what you need. Let Periplex do the work. Peripherals become software-defined, but hardware-implemented.

Built in India, for India’s Drone Revolution

Vaaman + Periplex isn’t just about tech. It’s about self-reliance.

India’s defence, agriculture, and logistics sectors need secure, reconfigurable, audit-friendly hardware — not black-box SoCs from questionable supply chains.

Periplex is the hardware engine for Atmanirbhar Bharat in drones.

TL;DR

Periplex lets drones adapt hardware to the mission — instantly.

It replaces tangled microcontroller logic with clean, structured JSON.

It unlocks use cases microcontrollers can’t touch: AI at the edge, dynamic reconfiguration, secure protocol stacks, and more.

And it’s built into Vaaman, India’s first reconfigurable edge computer.

MediaTek Teases LLM Demo with its Dimensity Chipsets

As generative AI's influence on the consumer tech industry widens, we've seen a growing number of brands, manufacturers, and companies make impressive strides in innovation, at least as far as AI is concerned. Not one to be outdone, MediaTek announced that it will be showcasing its upcoming LLM demo at Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2024, scheduled to take place later this month in Barcelona. Part of MediaTek's official announcement reads: "Last August, we announced that we are working closely to leverage Llama 2, Meta’s open-source LargeLanguage Model (LLM), as part of our ongoing investment in creating technology and an ecosystem thatenables the future of AI... At Mobile World Congress 2024, MediaTek will demonstrate an optimized Llama 2 Generative AI application on-device using MediaTek’s APU edge hardware acceleration on the Dimensity 9300 and 8300 for the first time." MediaTek adds that it will be using its latest APUs and NeuroPilot AI platform, which will work in tandem with Llama 2 in enabling generative AI apps to run directly on-device, instead of a cloud-based method. Based on how current generative AI for mobile devices works at the moment, this does seem to be a more promising solution - for example, Google's AI-based Magic Editor feature on its Pixel phones often requires users to initially backup their photo to the cloud before allowing them to make edits on their files. MediaTek states that providing users with an on-device method for Generative AI is a more ideal scenario, as it opens the floodgates for seamless performance, better privacy, and security, lower latency, as well as the ability to work in cases where there's no online connectivity. In addition, on-device integration for Llama 2 will require powerful chipsets to handle the workload involved, in which case MediaTek's dimensity 9300 and 8300 mobile chipsets are ideal hardware solutions, at least according to the company. As for the chips, MediaTek states that both Dimensity SoCs can support Llama 2 7B applications. In particular, the Dimensity 9300 is tailor-made for generative AI features. For instance, the 9300 features a 7th-gen APU that’s responsible for hardware-accelerated generative AI onto mobile devices – as such, MediaTek claims that the 9300 comes with 8x faster transformer-based generative Al, 2x faster integer and floating-point compute improvement, 45% more power efficiency, and even support for on-device LoRA Fusion. Attendees to MWC 2024 who are interested in checking out MediaTek's upcoming AI endeavors are invited by the company at Booth 3D10 in Hall 3, where the demo is scheduled to take place.

LoRAs: BoggyB beta, Rabbids / Raving Rabbids / Lapins Crétins - SDXL (1 to 0.8)

Prompt: fusion between worm and rabbid, rabbit ears, tail, simple background

Negative prompt: clothes, headwear

Maybe this wasn't such a good idea...

[claudiotrezzani]

In "Fine ed azione" m'occupavo di minatori, effettivi od evocati.

Pregressamente, in "Il senso del sacro"  soppesavo le emozioni perdute, di chi un tempo si faceva fotografare.

Qui, la fusione.

La fusione tra il ruolo di minatori e ciò ch'essi esternavano di fronte alla lente.

Cambia lo scenario:

dalle voragini in terra ai fori in viscere, della terra.

Dal Brasile di Salgado, all'Italia.

All'Italia e alla Francia.

All'epoca della foto qui mostrata erano già periti sei francesi e quattro italiani, nell'opera.

Sono francesi, questi sorridenti eroi?

Forse sì, perché l'immagine è firmata da Arne Persson.

Ma anche in Italia si scomodarono grossi calibri, come De Biasi o la pattuglia di Publifoto.

Già, i sorridenti eroi.

Erreremmo nel citare Bertold Brecht e la sua faccenda di patria sventurata in cerca di salvatori.

Perché questi sono eroi immolati per volontà altrui.

Agnelli sacrificali, ancora non s'era quietato il sinistro eco di tombali trincee ed insanguinati campi.

Napoleone Terzo - lui pur non esitante nel condurre a probabile morte in bellici frangenti - non ce la fece.

L'Ingegner/Conte Dino Lora Totino invece sì.

Virtuoso Visionario, Alacre Peroratore sull'asse Roma Milano Ginevra Parigi.

Ma non fu lui a morire.

I Sorridenti Minatori, lor sì defunsero.

Il flash ce li consegna radiosi, come dal Dio Ηλιος baciati.

No, siamo noi a doverli benedire.

Sorridevano all'idea del futuro che ci preparavano, loro.
