22983 - Through livelihoods

N. Lygeros
Translated from the Greek by Sianne Athanasia Tsandidis

Through livelihoods
you maintain your slavery
and you are proud
that you are free of handcuffs
while you forget of course
the neck-leash
because you consider
that since you placed it yourself
it is
a precious necklace
while its stones
are from the quarry
of the
concentration camp
which you call
society.
