39024 - Resist

N. Lygeros
Translated from the Greek by Athina Kehagias

Resist
dear nation
when barbarism
tries
to decapitate
your ideas
because
it doesn’t tolerate
your history,
your heritage
and your civilization,
or else
you’ll die
or you’ll remain
with guilt
and remorse
as you didn’t save
the innocent
from slavery.
