22954 - In first World War

N. Lygeros
Translated from the Greek by Vicky Baklessi

In first World War
Australia is suddenly
was incorporated in a chessboard
which plays for centuries now
war games
and learns with sacrifices
what resistance means
to the expanding barbarity
it is the beginning for it
there where for Greece
is the intermediate
and so the two peoples
with a common enemy
teach one another
the war of need.
