40875 - If I could speak

N. Lygeros
Translated from the Greek by Athina Kehagias

If I could speak
even after
my death
I would say
don’t let
my homeland
be occupied
because
Northern Epirus
deserves to live
free
as
it belongs
to Hellenism
and it
never forgot
its history
so for this reason
please
don’t abandon us
to barbarism
due to oblivion.
