10521 - Public library
N. Lygeros
Translated from the Greek by Evi Charitidou
A public Library
in the city centre,
a window
open to the world
which is not looking
at the present
and only to that
but is not forgetting
nothing from the past
to create
a new future
trough the books
held by
the masters
tooth
and nail
against oblivion
so that barbarity
couldn’t
burn the lives
for, knowledge
resists
arbitrary
power.
