„Wahlwerbespot“ der PARTEI für die Europawahl.

In Gänsefüßchen, weil die PARTEI diesen Film nicht als Wahlwerbung wollte ausstrahlen lassen, es aber doch tun musste, weil der ZDF das Video sonst nicht gezeigt hätte. Das alles benötigt sonst keinen Kommentar.

once

when i was very small,

i thought all of my grandmas

fish had drowned.

i scooped them out the pond.

buried their electric bodies

mistook the hectic dance

for a last flickering of light.

adorned them with plucked out water lilies

and wilted forsythia.

we could cry for hours

but our combined grief would never amount to anything

remotely comparable to the tides

that feast on thousands.

humans are omnivores

but this dying is not caused by evolution

we can’t blame biology for our blood lust.

they showed us the mass graves of Bergen-Belsen

they taught us to honour the memory

and treasure our dismay.

Now they come to cuff those who remember,

calling us terrorists.

hollow-cheeked hypocrites

stein-wielding misanthropes

hiding their hate, their fear, their frozen hearts

behind a facade of concern.

i never believed in sin

but this is atlantis and humanity’s drowning --

if you really want to let them die, how dare you call yourself human?
