The ludicrous (A. Antoniou) I found myself at the market, I'm not fed up, I don't get bored, the show on stage is eternal É sit here and cry, laugh and die, every minute, every little moment It's because they are ludicrous, it's also because of the cage itself In the market the mind flounders, it desires to be set free from the rusty cage I'm not fed up, I don't get bored in the market, every minute a dark hole I sit here and cry, laugh and die, the show on stage is eternal Ôhe porters and the ludicrous ones run after the glass-sellers to get the good merchandise They collide with the bullies, and the fools are becoming cross-eyed with a false and crooked grin “Everyone back in the cage, keep the spectacle alive Stay there, nobody come out, the show is on and it will keep on going!” The porters and the ludicrous ones collided with the bullies as they were searching for the good merchandise Fools became cross-eyed in front of the glass-sellers, they ordered the cage to be locked Give us your good looks and take us into your delusion so we can nest together sweetly Deliver your speech and lead the way, it is you that the ludicrous ones are worshipping Pull our ear a little bit, we will not make a sound In the market the mind stops, it desires to live only in the cage Give us your good looks and take us into your delusion so we can nest together sweetly Deliver your speech and lead the way, it is you that the ludicrous ones are worshipping

Syria (A. Antoniou) Colours, bodies, the scents that travelled through the neighbourhoods are gone Mouths, mattresses on wet terraces, ten forks in one plate Little girl wretched, hungry on the concrete, she is longing for a kiss, a caress Which god abandoned her? Which curse has broken her sight's unadulterated glass? Go mad, die, warm up the body, the yellow skin, against the barrels It went bad, it went crooked, the lever got stuck, and the roof is left half Don't move, don't talk, don't kiss the teddy bear, someone is looking for a target Terrified embraces, tense prayers, they reach nobody's ears
