Akeldama - Ακελδαμά Poem by Kostas Lagos

Akeldama - Ακελδαμά



Akeldama

We made the whole planet

A field of blood

Wars, injustice, violence

Exploitation, manipulation

Dominion, extinction

Now the blood of the Innocent

is upon us and on our children

Akeldama





Ακελδαμά

Κάναμε ολόκληρο τον πλανήτη

Αγρό αίματος

Πόλεμοι, αδικία, βία

Εκμετάλλευση, χειραγώγηση

Κυριαρχία, εξαφάνιση

Τώρα το αίμα του Αθώου

πέφτει επάνω μας και στα παιδιά μας

Ακελδαμά

I have found the forms: Akeldama, Aceldama, Hakel Dama, Hakeldama, Hakeldamach. I prefer the first one, sees more greek...
