34704 - If you accept

N. Lygeros
Translated from the Greek by Georgios Vachtanidis and Athina Kehagias

If you accept
without resistance
every modification
of the landscape
while it is
irreversible
then don’t be surprised
if they encroach on you
with demands
which will become
more and more
unreasonable
because they will have
a pretext
in order to justify
their existence
and the argument
of their action
even though it is
an act of barbarity
