Learn the simplest, for those
whose time had come,
it is never too late!
Learn the ABC, it is not enough, but
Learn it! Don't let yourself annoyed,
Begin! You must know everything!
You must overtake the guidance.

Human Error

Learn, man in asylum!
Learn, man in prison!
Learn, woman in the kitchen!
Learn, sixty yearold
Search for the school, homeless!
Get yourself knowledge, frozen man!
Hungry man, grab for the book:
It is a weapon.

Human Error

Don't shrink from asking, comrade!
Nothing let yourself be urged,
Look afterwards yourself!
You don't know!
Proof the bill,
You must pay it.
Put the finger on every position,
Ask: How does he got here?
You must overtake the guidance.

Human Error

German poem by Bertolt Brecht
