11138 - The corner grocery store with the signatures

N. Lygeros
Translated from the Greek by Athina Kehagias

The corner grocery store with the signatures
had changed its action
it was no longer observing
merely the misery of the crowd
but the dignity of the people
because now it could see
the future of the homeland
and it wanted to play
itself its role
in order to fight
the depression of the poor
and show them
their greatness
when they realize
that anyone could
with their signature
to demand
a right
which belongs
in the Law of the Sea
that is, in actual fact
of our history
without encroaching upon
no other human.
