22008 - When you burn

N. Lygeros
Translated from the Greek by Angeliki Papadopoulou

When you burn
the symbols
and flags
you commit
an act
of barbarity
because you are trying
with a sneaky way
to vanish
every trace
of existence
without to respect
the humans’
choices
who want
freedom
so we
are watching
each move
of bandalism
at Agii Saranta
because we don’t forget
our people
as far
as they are.
