IF THIS IS A MAN '
You who live safe
In your warm houses, You who find, returning
the evening, Hot food and friendly faces: Consider if this is
a man Who works in
mud Who knows no peace Who fights for a
bread Who dies a yes and a no
Consider if this is a woman, Without hair and
unnamed
no more strength to remember, Her eyes empty and her womb cold Like a frog in winter
:
forget that this was :
Remember these words:
Carve them in your hearts At home, street, Going to bed, rising
;
Repeat them to your sons, O
there undone the house,
illness impede you, your loved ones
twist their faces from you.
Primo Levi
