NP but Brecht

[jochen stremmel]

picked up from the www:

After the uprising of the 17th 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?

> Auf denen zu lesen war, dass das Volk

> Und es nur durch verdoppelte Arbeit
> Zurückerobern könne. Wäre es da
> Nicht doch einfacher, die Regierung
> Löste das Volk auf und
