2644 - Social offer

N. Lygeros
Translated from the Greek by Evi Charitidou

On an iron chair
society had crucified a child.
Its four extremities
immobile, dead
like nails of pain
were holding it disabled.
It was only its heart that was not wounded
by the need for life.
And when society realized this
it nailed on it the gaze of pity.
