Nicht, Was Bedeutet Wurde
by Bertolt Brecht

Als die Akademie von k�nsten Freiheit des k�nstlerischen Ausdruckes
von schmal-gek�mmerten B�rokraten dort war ein Heulen und ein L�rm
in seiner n�chsten Umgebung aber verlangte, das Br�llen �ber alles
kam ein deafening Donner von Applaus �ber von der Sektorgrenze
hinaus. Freiheit! sie br�llte. Freiheit f�r die K�nstler! Freiheit
ganz um! Freiheit f�r alle! Freiheit f�r die exploiters! Freiheit
f�r die warmongers! Freiheit f�r die Ruhr Kartelle! Freiheit f�r
Gener�le Hitlers! Weich meine lieben Gef�hrten� Der Judas Ku�
f�r die K�nstler folgt stark auf den Judas Ku� f�r die Arbeiter.
Der Brandstifter mit seiner Flasche Treibstoff schleicht herauf das
Grinsen zur Akademie von k�nsten. Aber er sollte nicht ihn umfassen,
um die Flasche aus seiner schmutzigen Hand heraus gerade zu klopfen,
die wir um Winkelst�ckraum baten. Sogar ist der schmalste Verstand,
in denen Frieden beherborgen wird, mehr Willkommen zu den k�nsten als
der kunstgeliebte

Wer auch ein Geliebtes der kunst des Krieges ist.
