9853 - The beauty of resistance
N. Lygeros
Translated from the Greek by Angeliki Papadopoulou
He, who has never resisted
the slightest of his enemies,
is not able to see
the beauty of this act
which makes us more humane
against the barbarity of horror
which does not seek
but for ugliness
of the slaves’ subjugation
except that we have been born
thanks to the sacrifices of the old;
all born free and this is how we shall die.
