13986 - If everyone saved the others

N. Lygeros
Translated from the Greek by Angeliki Papadopoulou

If everyone saved the others
then we would all have been saved
because everybody thinks
that they should save
only themselves
and never
mess with the others
because they don’t have enough time
to do something else
in everyday life
since there is no
time
for humaneness
and altruism
since selfishness
is trapped
with its problems
without the solutions
of society
since needs
preoccupation
because of completeness
and compromise.
