21559 - The pulchritude of history

N. Lygeros
Translated from the Greek by Athena Kehagias

The pulchritude of history
It’s civilization
and if you must
observe it in a museum
in order to realize it
then you are on the path
of barbarism
as you are waiting
for it to die first
before you accept
something positive about it,
when of course
it doesn’t bother you anymore
as a reality,
because you don’t fear
its actions.
But if you are a human
You will protect
this pulchritude
with the truth
so that it may not to be forgotten
due to Mnemosyne
which is withstanding.
