POETRY


The Sons of Aphrodite

The tragedy of Cyprus, the Diaspora of the seed,
A mass emigration of the pioneer sons, during modern times,
Who now excel, throughout the distant lands of the world,
New York, London, Melbourne, Johannesburg.
Perhaps the main focus points, of evolving Greek culture,
Successfully expressive, expansive modern day thinkers and traders,
Who contrast their paternal village, homeland agrarian, insular orthodox, closed minded relatives.
