20202 - The Insurgents

N. Lygeros
Translated from the Greek by Sianne Tsandidis

No matter how indignant
the insurgents
are about the present,
if they do not know
the true meaning
of the past and the future
they cannot be
revolutionaries
however much they wish to be
because they only speak
of what they will do
and do not do
that which they speak of
as they do not possess
the appropriate
background
for the transcendence
to occur
which will bring
the end result.
