IN MEMORIAM
to all those who have risked and lost
remember
the gods have left us
to go our own way
to all those who have sailed away
remember
failure is human error and you know why
the gods have gone and left us
and we have gone our own way
to all those countless young men
just like Pallas
just like Palinurus
jut like Polydorus
thought themselves men and were killed like boys
take heart
for the gods are gone and we are left
off Libya
off Rhodes
off Catania
off Crotone
off Lampedusa
off Turkey
off Kos
off Farmakonissi
off Lesbos
he who dares yes of course he who dares
and endless bullshit told to endless young men
propaganda or necessity
Arcadians fight against the young beauty of your premature leader
mothers implore your sons not to cross the ocean
young men accept that dying is easy but living is harder
to all those who have risked and lost or lost and risked
is there not another way
the gods have left us yes
but what point do you have to prove
the point is that I
the point is that we
what exactly is your point
to all those who have risked and lost
hail and farewell
the gods have gone and left us to our own mistakes
