Basilisk - Βασιλίσκος Poem by Kostas Lagos
Basilisk - Βασιλίσκος
A viper unseen
Has bitten us all
The basilisk of disquiet
Sits now on his throne
Spreading its venom
Throughout the world
Our dark days are here
But this too will pass
Μια αθέατη οχιά
Δάγκωσε τους πάντες
Της ταραχής ο βασιλίσκος
Κάθεται στο θρονί του
Σκορπίζει το φαρμάκι του
Σ' ολάκερο τον κόσμο
Ζούμε μέρες σκοτεινές
Μα κι αυτές θε να περάσουν
A vivid depiction of great fear and darkness but tinged with hope. Yes, we shall not be consumed by those elements that shower evilness and darkness. We must conquer them by the force of our goodness. Brilliantly penned with superb imagery as always.
