24560 - With chess and go

N. Lygeros
Translated from the Greek by Th. Tsiamitas

With chess and go
You mentally fight
the inadmissible of oblivion
because you seek
the real essence
behind each move
the irreversible one
in which
the invisible strategy exists
which affects
every action
that forms
the world of the future
so with the moves
and the stillness
you can stand up
among the kneeled ones
because you are
always closer
to the sky
while the others
see only the ground
because their gaze
has leaned over
permanently.
