Untitled (for all my combative Friends from the US.)
And as an add-on here's a poem for you from one of my favorite German Singers/Songwriters:
Wolf Biermann.
Encouragement
You, don't let yourself become hardened
in these hard times
those that are too hard
break
Those who are all too pointed,
sting and break off immediately.
You, don't let yourself become bitter
in these bitter times
the rulers tremble
- with you're behind bars -
but not because of your suffering.
You, don't be frightened
in these frightening times
that's what they want to achieve
they want us to lay down our arms
before the great fight.
You, don't let yourself be used up
use your time
You can't hide
You need us and we need
your cheerfulness.
We don't want to be silent
in these silent times
the green is sprouting from the twigs
we want to show it to everyone
then they will know.
Translation by - yours truly...
