Distrust them
Antje van der Maas
They say they mean well for you
And wear a pious face for show
They say you should no longer unite
And drag you smiling before the high court
They demand that you show solidarity
And yet live as they please
They demand that you curtail your surroundings
Be content with less freedom in the future
They say they have certainly experienced
That this is a deadly epidemic
They say they only wanted to protect you
Before you and yours and life itself
Distrust those who mean you too well
They claim that it's all about your well-being
Distrust them who tie up the lines
And want to keep you in eternal front

A beautiful poem.
It artfully describes this nightmare from which you are trying to wake up.
Stay confident!
Times will also change for the better again.
Thank you, Mr. Langemann!
It is extremely sad and absurd!
…
On the other hand, D & AT have experienced and survived so much!
Yes, always with a long delay, but still...
…
Hope dies last!
…
It takes an enormous amount of energy, but we have to keep at it!
Awake and alert!
Distrust is the wrong word, I don't trust them, I doubt their honesty.
Clearer the words, clouded they are, the clarity of the future the rabble will never find!
Thank you dear Mr. Langemann,
I will send these lines of poetry on.
What cheers me up at the moment are the short videos of Scotsman Dean with his cat Nala, who is on a Balkan bike tour.
Not your usual cat video!

And in Ljubljana ALL without masks, Christmas stalls open - and that works!
Only in the ... countries D, AT not.
Best regards!
Unfortunately, this will only be read by those who know it anyway ....
Reinhard May comes to mind: "Be vigilant" ...
I heard it again the other day ...
The fact that things are going the way they are is not due to a lack of information ...
It's because people don't want to have their illusions - no matter how abstruse - destroyed ...
That's why they do everything in their power to resist accepting any other truth, no matter what the facts are ....
Cognitive dissonance ...
- and LeBon has also named it ...
When I look at this, I ask myself whether the universe actually "needs" humanity?
you could almost sympathize with the WEF's plans ...
On the other hand - not so - humanity should be able to go its own way, just like that, without "accelerators" ...
And when I look at these sick minds that put themselves above God, above everything - as they said in Ice Age: "You're a disgrace to nature"
- and we arrive "at the top" again:
"Is this art or can it go away" ...
What annoys me so much about it - I could accept a meteorite better - but not like this!!!
Such a beautiful poem with wonderful "content" or new German content .... Thanks to the author ❤️
Wonderfully lyrical, it helps to better integrate the hard stuff of these days. Thank you very much for publishing it.
