19328 - The Armenian

N. Lygeros
Translated from the Greek by Vicky Baklessi

The Armenian
wasn’t born genocided
but with history
and civilization
and when the genocider
tried to annihilate him
it wasn’t only
the armenity
that he was wounding
but all of
Humanity
because the Armenian
at that moment
was not only himself
for the genocider
but a representative
of Humanity
because genocide
only wanted
the society
of oblivion.
