Ruins

Ruins

Ancient ruins of Smyrna are threatened by war
they might be blown up by those who want history 
to start now cutting off the umbilical cord of yesterday 
and we are all victim of the day before. Yet, sad as 
it might be everything will be dust, we should lament
but not cry, as we would the death of a child.
