21987 - Near the lake

N. Lygeros
Translated from the Greek by Athena Kehagias

Near the lake
of mnemosyne
you saw the spirit
of revolution
which continues
to write
the history
of Hellenism
even there,
where pride
reminds us of Tzoumerka
and we have
the weight
of light
on our shoulders
since the battle front
functions
at every battle
of intelligence
which is fighting
against barbarism
in order for the innocent
to be saved
from the occupation.
