10867 - The new decision

N. Lygeros
Translated from the Greek by Evi Charitidou

The new decision
no longer concerned
the future
but the past
and as much impossible
utopia seemed
that much the unthinkable
became a vision
for the monster
for, this was
the single due thing
which nobody had earlier
ever dared
in order to correct
genocide
of the innocents
who weren’t able to
resist
barbarity
of beasts
who didn’t want
humaneness.
