21135 - The liberation of Constantinople

N. Lygeros
Translated from Greek by Athina Kehagias and Theodoros Tsiamitas

The liberation of Constantinople
Is the only thing
which can close
the circle
of the occupation
by barbarity
for this reason
immediately stop
celebrating
in a hideous way
the anniversary
of the liberation
while it is only
of its beginning,
otherwise you’ll be ashamed
when you’ll see
a Thracian
who still lives
in the occupied territories
and when you’ll be telling him
to celebrate
with you
that, which you didn’t accomplish.
