Epitaph on a Monument to the War Dead
The general told us
with a finger up his ass
The enemy
is over there Get moving
It was for the fatherland
We went
with a finger up our ass
We came across the fatherland
with a finger up its ass
The madam told us
with a finger up her ass
Die or
save me
with a finger up your ass
We came across the Kaiser
with a finger up his ass
Hindenburg Reichoffen Bismarck
with a finger up their ass
the Grand Duke X Abdul-Amid Sarajevo
with a finger up his ass
hands cut off
with a finger up their ass
They broke our shinbones
with a finger up their ass
devoured our stomachs
with a finger up their ass
pierced our balls with matches
with a finger up their ass
and then very quietly
we croaked
with a finger up our ass
Pray for us
with a finger up your ass
[1936]
