the nameless one
FRAGEN EINES LESENDEN ARBEITERS
Wer Baute Das siebentorige Theben ?
In den Büchern Stehen sterben Namur von Königen .
Haben sterben Könige sterben Felsbrocken herbeigeschleppt ?
Und Das mehrmals zerstörte Babylon,
Wer Baute es So viele Male gefallen ? In Welchen Häusern
Des goldstrahlenden Lima wohnten sterben Bauleute ?
Wohin Gingen ein DM Abend, wo Die chinesische Mauer fertig Krieg,
Die Maurer ? Das große Rom
Ist voll von Triumphbogen . Über wen
Triumphierten sterben Cäsaren ? Hatte Das vielbesungene Byzanz
Nur Paläste für Waden bewohner ? SELBST in Höhe von sagenhaften Atlantis
Brüllten DOCH in der Nacht , wo Das Meer es verschlang ,
Die Ersaufenden nach ihren Sklaven .
Der junge Alexander eroberte Indien .
Er Allein ?
Cäsar Schlug sterben Gallier .
Hatte er Nicht wenigstens einen Koch bei Sich ?
Philipp von Spanien weinte , als Seine Flotte
Untergegangen Krieg. Weinte sonst. Niemand ?
Friedrich der Zweite siegte im Siebenjährigen Krieg . Wer
Siegte Außer IHM ?
JEDE Seite Ein Sieg.
Wer kochte Höhle Siegesschmaus ?
Alle Zehn Jahre Ein Grosser Mann .
Wer bezahlte sterben Spesen ?
So viele Berichte,
So viele FRAGEN .
Bertholt Brecht

A Worker Reads HistoryWho built the seven gates of Thebes?
The books are filled with names of kings.
Was it the kings who hauled the craggy blocks of stone?
And Babylon, so many times destroyed.
Who built the city up each time? In which of Lima's houses,
That city glittering with gold, lived those who built it?
In the evening when the Chinese wall was finished
Where did the masons go? Imperial Rome
Is full of arcs of triumph. Who reared them up? Over whom
Did the Caesars triumph? Byzantium lives in song.
Were all her dwellings palaces? And even in Atlantis of the legend
The night the seas rushed in,
The drowning men still bellowed for their slaves.
Young Alexander conquered India.
He alone?
Caesar beat the Gauls.
Was there not even a cook in his army?
Phillip of Spain wept as his fleet
was sunk and destroyed. Were there no other tears?
Frederick the Greek triumphed in the Seven Years War.
Who triumphed with him?
Each page a victory
At whose expense the victory ball?
Every ten years a great man,
Who paid the piper?
So many particulars.
So many questions.
