The German Obedience Syndrome


A short poem about the current times.



The German Obedience Syndrome


They stand obedient, row and file,
and wait until their turn at last.
At the very back, someone asks,
what might be served today, at last.
Most have no answer ready,
don’t know what it’s about.
They’ve long succumbed to regulations,
each one just stands where they are placed.
The middle finger is forbidden,
by idiots up above.
Thus, a law was invented
and they began to amputate us.
Yes, all stand well-behaved in line,
except two or three.
The rest, defying all reason,
put both hands on the block with glee.
Together in line they wait,
then comes football or the garden gate.
A nation of poets and thinkers
obediently goes to its own executioners,
has stopped acting for itself,
cheering every bit of nonsense,
swaying or clapping hands,
and mindlessly repeating every sham,
following orders without thought,
giving their whole lives away.
They obey like in the military –
where do they get such stupidity?
Comfort and arrogance,
that’s the new acceptance.

To listen to the poem, press Play.
