27516 - To be

N. Lygeros
Translated from the Greek by Athena Kehagias

To be
blacklisted
as persona non grata
by a country
of barbarism
it’s an honour
as in this way
you obtain
an evidential
element
proving that you belong
to Humanity
since
barbarism itself
doesn’t want you
even near its lands
as your existence
through your works
is bothersome to it
so do
your utmost
in order to obtain
a certificate
of humanism.
