Lyrical contemplation XVIII

Angry Young Man
Antje van der Maas

 

What are you shouting and ranting about?

And threaten with your finger

And only make it worse with every word

Tell anyone who will listen 

And who weighed you

And feel betrayed by everyone and everything

Stand up for the weak

And make yourself the spokesperson

And yet your appeal is stale and tinny

Struggling with life

And its conditions

And scrapes the putty out of the walls with his nails

Were you always denied hearing as a boy?

The child accused of everything and everyone?

Then I should be sorry, and I am!

  1. Es gibt kein Alter, in dem alles so irrsinnig intensiv erlebt wird, wie in der Kindheit.
    Wir Großen sollten uns daran erinnern, wie das war.

Welcome to this platform for the cultivated exchange of arguments.

We have forgotten how to endure contradiction. It is okay to disagree here. I would ask you to remain respectful and polite. Insults and hate comments will be removed in future, as will calls to vote for political parties. I reserve the right to delete insulting or derogatory comments. This public forum and its inherent opportunity to exchange arguments and opinions is an attempt to uphold freedom of expression - including freedom of dissent. I would like to see the old-fashioned virtue of respect cultivated here.

"Controversy is not an annoying evil, but a necessary prerequisite for the success of democracy." Federal President Dr. h.c. Joachim Gauck (ret.), only 5 years ago in his speech on the Day of the Basic Law.
