15885 - He sharpens his axe

N. Lygeros
Translated from the Greek by Athina Kehagias

Kolokotronis
Sharpens his axe
each time he sees
within the invisible
the strategy
which is activated
in order to change
reality
and he grabs the wood
as strongly as possible
so as to be ready
since he is already aware
that the battle begins
with the first blow
without waiting
for a forewarning
since the need
of freedom
exists within him
wherever he may be
without somebody
requesting it
since the nation desires it.
