26609 - The victims in Nice

N. Lygeros
Translated from the Greek by Athena Kehagias

The victims in Nice
innocent and unaware
at the English promenade
were not expecting
an act of barbarity
on this July the 14th
so the National Day
was trasformed into a day of mourning
as a result of this horror crime
because even to this date
we haven’t
yet realized
that terrorism
is no longer at the gates
but within the walls
and that without resistance
nobody is safe
because the assignees
want us all dead.
