Where can I find words, what can I write about the Tempe tragedy?
The mind and the heart mourn the apathy of the "authorities",
which causes sadness, anger, but also disgust.
So many dozens of new lives and dreams were lost
from criminal mistakes and rotten minds.
Rivers the tears of relatives, friends and society,
who beheld with horror the place of Babylon.
Where can I find words of comfort to their own people,
how to discover ways of sympathy and advice,
and how to deal with cynical hypocrisy in leaders,
and the plaintive admonition to "silence" instead of shouting defiantly?
Greece flooded with graves of innocents,
that remain unquenchable messages of protest.
Remember with horror previous similar crimes?
The "General Wind", the tragedy in Mati and others,
that stigmatize our history with bloody letters, big ones?
And tragic irony: In ancient Greece there was purification in tragedies.
In modern times, instead of catharsis, farces and parodies.
