22377 - The candles of Humanity

N. Lygeros
Translated from the Greek by Vicky Baklessi

The candles of Humanity
are those which we lit
on December 9th
for the dignity
of the victims
so that we prove
to the barbarians
that we didn’t forget anyone
and that after years
we still fight
because we know how much
all of them fear the light
since they have been used to
the darkness
and the shadows
because the lights of humans
is the light of Humanity
and it is this
which shows the path
for its Rights.
