14845 - When you are born on your knees

N. Lygeros
Translated from the Greek by Angeliki Papadopoulou, Evi Charitidou

When you are born on your knees
you think that you walk
and, if you don’t really know
what death means
how to learn how to live
since you don’t even know
that the goal
is not happiness
but the mission
which responds
to our need
not being
the needs of society
for this reason
stand up
to see the height
of our civilization.
