But you, when at last it comes to pass
That man can help his fellow man,
Do not judge us
Too harshly.
That man can help his fellow man,
Do not judge us
Too harshly.
To Posterity
After the uprising of the 17th of June
The Secretary of the Writers' Union
Had leaflets distributed in the Stalinallee
Stating that the people
Had forfeited the confidence of the government
And could win it back only
By redoubled efforts. Would it not be easier
In that case for the government
To dissolve the people
And elect another?

The Solution
Do not rejoice in his defeat, you men.
For though the world has stood up and stopped
the bastard, the bitch that bore him is in heat again.
