2142 - The fault of peace

N. Lygeros
Translated from the Greek by: Athina Kehagias, Theodoros Tsiamitas

You were hearing screams and you couldn’t see the future.
You were living through death
and you were terrified from the death of life.
Yet you were born after the revolution.
You could not believe in it
because peace was what you wanted.
You lived through slavery
and you didn’t want the slaves to die.
Yet they had to die
in order for the free to be born,
who you’ve never met
