Επιμέλεια: Εύα Πετροπούλου Λιανού
The whole world chases me fiercely
As I’m the only prey.
I passed through slaughters, massacres and massive burdens of life.
I successfully escaped the darkness and brutality of this notorious world.
I walked the long path over the shredded parts, the killed children, the weeping widows and the hungry boys.
I ran away this motionless and silent world miraculously,
Till I reached the gate of the cemetry where life thrives as flowers
And the glamorous light appears from the innocent souls as the burning butterflies.
I walked among tombs and shrines
Where tranquility and serenity flow.
There, I hear the alives whisper
It was a wonder to flee the dead world and live peacefully in the heart of the earth.
I suddenly yelled at them loudly
“I honestly envy you”.
