10519 - You, too, are an Assyrian

N. Lygeros
Translated from the Greek by Evi Charitidou

You, too, are an Assyrian
because by the crime
against Humanity
which they have suffered from
you have been hurt as well
if, of course, you belong
to the humans of memory
and not individuals of oblivion,
consequently you, too, must
take a position
and recognize
our genocide
for, it is a wound
on your face
and this stigma
is not going to be erased
without vindication
so, you can’t
be a Greek,
an Armenian or a Just
without being you, too
an Assyrian because of
your wound
and your humaneness.
