If This Is a Man - Primo Levi

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 because of 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

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.
