16050 - Burning a book

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

Burning a book
is not just
an accidental mistake
but a crime
against humaneness
because it is not only
that you do not accept it
but that you do not even want it
to exist
and as Time passes by
you will reach the source
wishing that neither its writer
nor his civilization by extension
have existed;
thus you are naturally led
to the crime
against Humanity.
