28814 - Why

N. Lygeros
Translated from the Greek by Athena Kehagias

Why
do you agree
for the existence
of nations
which are suffering?
why
do you assume
that it’s
quite normal
for them not to have
a homeland?
why
don’t you care
that barbarians
are torturing them?
Why
if you have
something to say
why then you remain
speechless
and never
say anything
about them
eventhough
you know
for so many years
that they have
no right
to live
free?
