“PSYCHOANALYSE”
The German is
reasonable; to work is honor,
In the orderly
German fatherland.
To father
state everybody is an apprentice.
Never is
anything “out of order”.
We pay to be
able to listen to the radio, to see TV.
Yet It does
not causes citizens resistance.
We follow
orders, one can swear by that,
And
disobedience is nearly unknown….
Our virtues,
together with other matters,
Are inherited
from the father to the son…
So can a
“Fuehrer” make something out of it…
Mentality,
pride, stubborness, precision.
Obeying laws,
that we can do best…
If we are
right, that is enough for us…
We are known
for this in the east as in the west,
Worldwide, we
slaves of German perfection.
Freedom
confuses us; we used to be obsequious;
Freedom
collides with our German nature.
We have to
know, to order, to plan everything.
Even in our
stupidity we are stubborn.
Abundantly
blessed with all these attributes,
We obey almost
every cartoon figure we meet.
Yesterday,
today, and tomorrow,
Law, duty,
orders often dictatorship….
We are great,
the greatest we were as fascists;
That we have
shown the whole world…
Afterwards we
have been the best communists,
As long as the
world was leaning to the east…
That Status
Quo, that bothered Ronald Reagan,
He was not
silent to Russia’s menace…
We are united
now, but fearful and confused;
Helpless in
freedom, but prosperity increases!
Until
eighty-nine, all was quiet, lifeless as
a grave yard…
Stupidity and
fear ruled in East-Germany.
One party
“free” election had killed the yearning for freedom.
The security
police had everything under control.
All citizens
who did not want to obey the communist party,
Were “
socialistically” kept in check;
They were
arrested, they were fleeing, and they died in the minefields;
The rest, towards
the end, escaped under the “ church – roofs”.
Trading posts
“QUELLE”, “KARSTATT”, “NECKERMANN” were not
The only help
for the DDR on the economic side.
Until
eighty-nine, all the free world quite cleverly knew,
East-concentration-Camp
products are easy profits!
God be
thanked; finally all of it came to an end,
Notwithstanding
the forty years of red seed…
Russia’s
breakdown provoked a change of direction
In our
“Madhouse of the East German state”…..
