18425 - Take up your pencil

N. Lygeros
Translated from the Greek by Sianne Tsandidis

Take up your pencil
without an eraser
and draw
freely
without fear
if you wish
to truly
honour
the victims
of barbarity,
because words
do not suffice
if a continuum
does not exist
to accuse
the actions
of injustice
against the innocent
if the Just
do not accuse
and condemn
the criminals
of nihilism
and of the void.
