I remember those
who invented life
to dancing poetry
songs about love
grass and trees
the moon
and the gleam of the stars
flowers in the hair
believing in joy
the never-ending smile
all of us were
children of the sun
and love was without doubt
days of rainbows
softly nights
rising hope for our earth
eagerly longing
for nearness and care
together wherever we lived
*
children of love
with peace as demand
war was utterly ignorance
the blood-red shadows
of deceit and profit
known as
the identity of the fool
children of flowers
played with fire
stumbled fell in ruins
a desert of granite
grey reality
they fled
into dreams and intoxication
the web of the rich man
the claws of the speculator
the protest became gorgeous capital
they all were present
the critics the pedagogues
the psychoanalytics
influential judges
the society-supporters
with stability
as the ideal
*
The joker sat hidden
smiled amused
looked at it as a dramatic theatre
audience and actors
in each world
bourgeois
against gypsies and rebels
worn thin attitudes
tower up complexes
free fall in the cave of neurosis
fie and whew
about sex and lust
the truth
was a dangerous monster
sanguine-party
the land of happiness
the hunt for the door of Utopia
storm against barricades
muddy sediment
neglected promises
the convulsive veil
of stagnation
*
belated wisdom
writes history
no man’s land
is now gone
the apostles of peace
are assimilated
done without risk
toothless and small
money speaks
demands its will
gags strangles triumphs
searchlight on causes
the greed has weapon
Mammon flatters
suggestionizes
will children of the sun
awake again
invent life
to dancing poetry
bid defiance to the pessimists
infect the surroundings
let joy of life
and spontaneity
whirl
without stop
