9588 - On the path you have chosen

N. Lygeros
Translated from the Greek by Athina Kehagias and Theodoros Tsiamitas

On the path that you have chosen
there are no conveniences
every step is an effort
only in this way you will grow up
and you will become human
for your fellow-human
otherewise, there’s always
the downslope of society for you
where the persons are dying
while playing in a playground
without being able to give
the slightest thing
to the others who do not exist.
