On the calendar the day is not
Yet shown
Every month, every day
Lies open still. One of those days
Is going to be marked with a cross.

When the leaders speak of peace The common folk know That war is coming. When the leaders curse war The mobilization order is already written out. Those at the top say: peace And war Are of different substance. But their peace and their war Are like wind and storm. War grows from their peace Like son from his mother He bears Her frightful features. Their war kills Whatever their peace Has left over. — Bertolt Brecht, "A German War Primer"
