Children of the Future

I've got to confess it to you:
I've given up hope.

The void --
Everybody's got a hedge against it,
A private exit strategy: we''ll
Work all the angles; make sure never
To be alone; and
When the program
Fails, we'll still have nothing
For a friend.

Den Nachgeboren


Ich gestehe es:
Ich habe keine Hoffnung.
Die Blinden reden von einem Ausweg.
Ich sehe.

Wenn die Irrtümer verbraucht sind
Sitzt als letzter Gesellschafter
Uns das Nichts gegenüber.

Bertolt Brecht (10 February 1898-14 August 1956):Den Nachgeborenen, c. early 1920s (later retitled Der Nachgeborenein Gedichte 2, 87); English version TC

Jerusalem (AFP), 9 April 2015 - Israel Sunday arrested several suspects believed to be linked to the deadly firebombing of a Palestinian home and placed two more alleged Jewish extremists in detention without trial. One of those interned on Sunday was Meir Ettinger, a 23-year-old accused of being a key figure in a loose band of youths suspected to be behind a string of nationalist hate crimes. Ettinger's grandfather Meir Kahane founded Kach, a racist movement that wanted to chase Arabs from Israel. Kahane was assassinated in New York in 1990: photo by Jack Guez,/AFP, 9 August 2015
