27831 - What would you have done

N. Lygeros
Translated from the Greek by Athena Kehagias

What would you have done
if you lived
in a country
where they prohibited
your religion?
Quite possibly
the question
may not interest you
because you are
in a democracy.
What would you have done
however
if it lost
its characteristics
because
the ruling power
would deviously
change
the law
and the official
program;
Now
you’ll see
what you would’ve done.
