10520 - I know what you are going to tell me
N. Lygeros
Translated from the Greek by Evi Charitidou
I know what you are going to tell me
and how is it possible
you, who have a life
an absolutely normal one
to be able to save
dead people
from the genocide of memory
you forget, however, that no one
has asked you to be a Saint
only to remain
human at the time
of the real need
without kneeling
when they will pressure you
to experience
the death of the victim
along with the perpetrator
and not to resist
the hideous crime
against Humanity
for you are not only
one, but you are the other one, too
you are not only a human
but a fellow human, too.
