18463 - If you read slowly

N. Lygeros
Translated from the Greek by Sianne Tsandidis

If you read slowly
you must think of but a few things
and not of many
and thereafter
you must not forget
because you too will be
responsible
for this knowledge
of Mankind
for if it is lost
from elsewhere,
we will ask
you
to save
the situation
with your memory
and your thought
since you will be
the last individual
who will remember
the precious work
so be cautious
not just for yourself
but also for us.
