Nichts Neues Im Westen
POETRY FORMAT, 10 Jun 2013
Tom Greening – TRANSCEND Media Service
Back in 1928 Erich Maria Remarque
confronted us with the image
of the beheaded soldier
still running,
with blood “like a fountain”
spouting from his neck.
That’s the statue we need
in every park and square
to commemorate what we do so well:
run toward war,
headless.
