21555 - Within the history

N. Lygeros
Translated from the Greek by Athena Kehagias

Within the history
of Manhattan
you can find
the first oath
dating back to April 30, 1789
which defined
the emergence
of an act
which became
the barycentre
and the equipoise
of the world,
while the new
completed
the old
in order for the future
to be linked to the past.
So don’t just stare
at the heights
but the foundations as well,
because that’s where
the roots
of the branchings are found,
those you discover
through the value
of the actions
which continue
His works.
