9316 - When they killed the graves

N. Lygeros
Translated from the Greek by Evi Charitidou

When they killed the graves
and destroyed the crosses
nobody could believe it in the beginning
but when we all saw
with our own eyes
the army of barbarity
mercilessly hitting the stones
to vanish the sacred
then we initiated resistance
of human decency
for, we are Antigone’s children.
