Philosophical poetry is to think about making poetry, to speak a language 'charged' with critical significations, an inquirer of the collective unconsciousness, that has taken the form of futurologies, foreseeing-preparing, according to what the author prefers, inducing the exegesis of the future, leaving the present, placed in the past, in Antiquity, so that from there we begin inquiring into the implications of the scientific-technological revolution, the social sciences and metaphysics, that give this voyager in dreams of the future, the keys to understand what is coming that nobody will understand, in a planet that will end bursting like a bubble without reason, with the reign of the superman over everything, over nature, over his own nature, and over God himself, who the human being will have made in his own image and likeness, creating him like Frankenstein, meanwhile another world far from this world: the God Man, inventing another planet in the sideral space of his (nearly) infinite self-glorification. For what could be the meaning of all this? A desert of nothing, as the great Omar Khayam would say.
