Shot at dawn

drugged by morphine
the blue light comes to you
when the squad opens fire
the coward goes to hell
the officers are heroes

Step by step

Shoa

 

wandering jew, damned jew
no words about them are forbidden
suspected of crimes and treason
they have been put in jail
 
they have been tortured and murdered
in the name of an insane idea
and now - more than ever -
who is next, please ?

Shut up !


 
don't try to be
who you are
 
shut up !
 
some more discipline
and a cheerful face
 
shut up !
 
your duty is sacred
work yourself to death
 
shut up !
 
your only way
is  "their" way
 
shut up !

the train was too late
by foot it was too far
the river too nearby
the hatred too strong
bullets through your head
river of blood

the spirit of death
kissed you
on this ridge
your work is done
no triumph no glory
but for ever
silent

Yperite

late at night
a mist
fills the valley
without knowing
it suffocates
like a dark power
on the fields
our dead bodies
and under the grass
a brown soil

Beyond the limit

Beyond the limit
 
tempting is
the border area
hanging around
in the gray zone
watching the game
of back and forth
seeing how vanity
and power
push them
far
beyond the limit

Tyne Cot

 

when you left
for the front
you were
living heroes
and now
you are on top
of the hill
where only
poppies
blow..........

Tyne Cot
 
toen jullie 
naar het front
trokken
waren jullie
levende helden
en nu
liggen jullie
op de heuvel
waar alleen
papavers bloeien...
