It
is not me
who
is leaving,
but
you are pressing me
as
you have changed
your
valuation of freedom and democracy.
By
dictation you are achieving
new
rules for steering the publicity,
controlling
systems, a lot, have been arranged,
hindering
freedom of meaning and speech,
even
manipulating free elections.
Education
and infrastructure are rotten,
but
war preparations are preached,
mountains
of debts for weapons,
also
financing strange energy management,
and
tirades of hatred are reached,
news
and truth are checked by ideological selections,
honor
and respect are widely forgotten,
murder
in the open public – just happens.
And
then punishment?
O
politics and justice!
But,
Germany, I am telling you just this:
OK,
you are severely ill,
but
lots of your people are healthy, still.
There
are so many others of sane sense
who
I value and can even adore.
And,
in addition one aspect more:
The
beautiful landscapes of this country, of this land
will
never expel me out, in no extents,
with
all consequence.
To
this “Heart of Europe” I reach out my hand.
That's
where I stand as a cosmopolitan and pacifist.
So,
actually I don't say “Good-bye” but again and again
I
repeat “Auf Wiederseh'n”!
I
trust in your reconciliation
as
a powerful but peaceful nation.
That's
what I am longing for,
for
the benefit of us all here but even more:
For
Mankind and humane life,
I
do write and strive.
Can
one argue as a realist?
Written
on my cosmonomic location “Hohe Freiheit 24” in Germany,
as
a friendly invitation
to
support peace and democracy,
to
strengthen emancipation and dignity,
not
to make any nations or persons “greater” than others
but
to encourage cultures to a greater Humanity
of
Mankind and of global society.
