21989 - Τhe hospitality

N. Lygeros
Translated from the Greek by Athena Kehagias

Τhe hospitality
of the Northern Epirotans
it’s so generous
that even the most naive
understands
how Greek they are
under their skin
and not only in words
likewise, the Helladites
are left speechless
when they realize
how distant they are
from the reality
of Hellenism
which is not restricted
by arbitrary borders
because it’s aware
of the history
of the future
and it becomes prepared
for the continuity
without fears
because for eons on
it lives humanely
for the sake of Humanity.
