19895 - With candles

N. Lygeros
Translated from the Greek by Panayiotis Diamadis

With candles
on shoulders
we carried
the holy light
conscious
of the mission
we were carrying out
in the Occupied Territories
since it was proper
it was certain
to occur
the unthinkable
which no-one else
had thought of
to dare
to imagine
how much
the forbidden
had become
natural
for everyone
while it was
barbarity
which trod upon
Humanity
and Justice.
