When the people you've spent centuries with don't care about your death at all

[songslating]

“Three mothers” by Fabrizio De Andrè

( Mother of Titus/Dismas ): "Titus, you are not son of God, but there is who dies in saying you goodbye.”

( Mother of Dumachus/Gestas ): "Dumachus, you ignore who is your father, but more than you, dies your mother."

( Both mothers ): "You cry with too many tears, Mary, only a reflex of an agony: you know that, on the third day, your son will come back to life; let us cry a little harder for those who will never rise from the dead."

( Mother of Jesus ): "I mourn the things of him that are taken away from me, the skinny arms, the forehead, the face, every aspect of his life that is still living, that I see die hour by hour. Son in the blood, son in the heart, and those people who call you "our Lord", in the fatigue of your smile they seek a fragment of Paradise. For me you are son, dying life, my womb carried you blind, as on my lap, now on the cross my voice is calling you 'dear love'.

If you had not been son of God, I'd still have you as my son."

Just calling this a cursed take would not do it justice.

I have to make it worse.
