21600 - You who know

N. Lygeros
Translated from the Greek by Angeliki Papadopoulou

You who know
about desert
and about history
you might
understand
our position
in this struggle
because you know
the cowardice
of barbarity
which starts
from the innocent
in order to impose
its will
against the humans
who love
this sand
that you touched
when your childishness
had the chance
to listen carefully to
the narrations
of your mother.
