"Truly I live in dark times!" - Bertolt Brecht



‘To Those Who Follow in Our Wake’
-          Bertolt Brecht

(Selected lines..)

He who laughs
Has not yet received
The terrible news.



They tell me: eat and drink.
Be glad to be among the haves!
But how can I eat and drink
When I take what I eat from the starving
And those who thirst do not have my glass of water?

And yet I eat and drink.
Truly I live in dark times!
