23520 - Everyone said

N. Lygeros
Translated from the Greek by Sianne (Athanasia) Tsandidis

Everyone said
that faith
had died
to make way for
the victory of
state atheism
which promoted
the icon
of the party
however it
came crashing down
together with the wall
as it could not withstand
Peristroika
and Glasnost
since all that it wanted
was red
slaves
without reasoning
without voice
without opinion
and for Pravda
to be its solitary
truth.
