18560 - At the final straight

N. Lygeros
Translated from the Greek by Athena Kehagias

When you are fighting endlessly without a pause, for the justice of the people and the nation, you are not afraid at the final straight.
On the contrary, you have been prepared, with all the the might you gained throughout the period of the battle.
So when you finally find yourself in the context of liberation, it’s not the enemies who frighten you, because you have by your side your faith and Time.
Prepared finally, you come into direct contradiction with the brutality of oblivion, but you are reinforced with the knowledge of truth.
Nobody can influence you with lies, tricks and defamations, because you know all the data on which your strategy is based.
You don’t see a country becoming a homeland, when you see a mass becoming a nation, you’re not returning to old ideals which have degenerated.
When you realize that ideologies of the past are used, which have led to genocide, crimes against humanity, you can’t accept their presence in the homeland of freedom.
It’s that for which you fought for, you are fighting and will be fighting for, because life, is only a gift when it is free, without chains.
Because, only freedom is appropriate for a nation which knows how to be sacrificed for others, which knows the example of resistance, which knows the value of a human, which knows the inability of political parties in regards to handling national issues.
Greece has chosen two hundred years ago the slogan “Freedom or Death” and is not going to kneel against the barbarism which does not believe in anything and wants nothingness as a principle.
Because we are not nihilists, but creators of future.
