35703 - Upon the Sacred Altar

N. Lygeros
Translated from the Greek by Athina Kehagias

Upon the Sacred Altar
which was destroyed
by barbarism
we lit up
four candles
so that
the Cross
of Christ
would live
again
even
at the Occupied
territories
in order to break
the silence
of inaction
which forgets
the memory
aiming to survive
through the oblivion
of indifference,
but we are
here
even afterwards.
