9832 - While you are writing history

N. Lygeros
Translated from the Greek by Evi Charitidou

While you are writing history
and no longer
describing reality
you have to bear inside you
conscience of the future
otherwise, you might degenerate
the past of your own
to adjust yourself to the present
whereas your country
wants to live
and this happens only
if your thinking
is diachronic
even if it’s not
comprehensible to the others
it will absolutely be, though,
to the next ones
who will be born
by your history.
