31076 - Use

N. Lygeros
Translated from the Greek by Theodoros Tsiamitas

Use
every moment
that life
offers you
in order to give
to the others
pieces of history
on the chessboard
of the need,
otherwise
you will be
like a knight
or a bishop
outside of it
who won’t be worthy,
not even as a pawn,
because you never
moved forward
into the battlefield
due to phobias.
