THE WALL BEFORE AND AFTER (Satis Shroff) The Wall was erected in 1961 To keep the people in. The folks called it fondly: The anti-fachist-protective-rampart. Anyone who fled the barbed-wire republic Was shot by snipers or automatic guns. The common bonds, language, history Were erased overnight. Germans became split into: them and us. A folk was divided into the haves in the West And have nots in the East. Berlin became an island, In the middle of the Soviet occupied zone. Families were separated. On August 13, 1961 the Soviets and East Germans Built an in-depth fortification: the Wall. * * * In Berlin Kudamm with Scandinavian friends After the Wall fell thousands of East and West Germans Met and higged each other at last. The same language, cultural heritage, Yet worlds apart only because of another ideology. I took off in a light plane from Hessen's highest peak: The Wasserkuppe airfield (950m). 'The Rhön is...

Lit Podium: Haslacher Freitext 2017 Die heilige Kühe von Kathmandu (Satis Shroff) Es war ein König, so eine Legende, Der befahl, dass Kühe freigesetzt werden sollen Von Familien die trauerten, In den Strassen von Katmandu, Lalitpur und Bhadgaon, Um die Schmerzen von einem verstorbenen Prinz Zu verkraften, Und eine traurige Mutter und Königin Zu trösten. Die Kinder verkleideten sich Als groteske Kühe und lustige Figuren Und tanzten zu Nepali Musik, Um die Königin zum lachen zu bringen Und ihre Tränen zu wischen. * * * Die Berge sind Menschenleer (Satis Shroff) Wo sind die jungen Leute? Die Männer sind in fremden Armeen Und dienen ausländischen Herren. Die schönen, gehorsamen Frauen Sind in Bombays und Kalkuttas Bordellen entführt. Und sie fragen mich: „Wo sind die jungen Leute?“ Sie gingen fort um zu überleben, Weil eine Kälte sich im Königreich verbreitet hat. Die Dürre, die Hungersnot, Di...

Zeitgeistlyrik: Sea Poems By Satis Shroff

SEA POEMS (Satis Shroff) Sylt at Dawn (Satis Shroff) You hear the waves As they splash onto the shore. You haven’t opened your eyes, But you discern the cries of sea gulls, As you slowly let the sunlight Into your eyes. Ah, the reassuring rays caress your face, As you proceed to the balcony, Stretch yourself And let out cha-cha-cha, Pa-pa-pa sounds between your teeth, That you’ve learned While singing in your choir. A seagull with a fish in its beak Flutters by. All white and airborne, Twinkling on a blue sky. Out in the horizon, A turquoise blue trawler chugs by. Habitat for Wild (Satis Shroff) The flora and fauna have a hard time In winter. The white mantle Of snow covers The branches, buds and barks. The owl loves winter As it takes in all Beings that move, With its keen sight. The woodpecker knows Where the larvae and insects Are hid...
