9340 - The crosses in the cemetery

N. Lygeros
Translated from the Greek by Evi Charitidou

The crosses in the cemetery
were not merely stony
each one of them was unique
to also constitute a gift
to the Armenian culture
and Humanity as well.

However, the barbarians came
to destroy them
and kill death as well
so that not even a single trace
of Armenia would exist
and they ripped silence.

They did not wait for the Justs
who arrived after
the sneaky crime
to rebuild
the whole cemetery
against barbarity.
