7754 - Question set to a servile

N. Lygeros
Translated from the Greek by Athena Kehagias

After you give away your homeland
following your history
what else would you have left
in order to remain subservient
since you wantn’t be able
to become assimilated?
Do you realize that if you give
all which they ask of you
you’ll have nothing left
to sell to them
because a slave
can not by nature
hand over himself
as It already belongs to others.
So beware servile
keep something of yours aside
so that you’ll be able to betray it.
