17757 - The Master gives

N. Lygeros
Translated from the Greek by Sianne Tsandidis

The Master gives
and the student passes on,
otherwise knowledge
dies upon him,
and if he allows this to occur,
then he commits
a crime of barbarity
because he does not realise
that he who keeps
the flame for himself
is burnt by the fire
of society’s oblivion
because it is the end
of a journey
which sought
a baton
for the continuum
of the evolution
of Mankind
within Time.
