Karl Kraus - Here In This Land

Karl Kraus - Here In This Land

Here in this land no one gets ridicule br but he who tells the truth. He then must stand br defenseless and attract some smirking, cool br disdain. Nothing dishonors in this land. br br Here in this land a person's wickedness, br which elsewhere would lead straight to prison's door, br mints him pure gold, brings glory and success, br and garners honor for him evermore. br br Here in this land a gauntlet you must run br of petty thieves with deep contempt for you, br who wish to steal your purse and, when it's done, br will try to win, besides, your handshake too. br br Here in this land you never will find rest br when fleeing from contaminated schemes, br for to your house the post comes like the pest br and mercilessly kills your pleasant dreams. br br Here in this land you strike an idle blow br if you attempt to hit this wily band, br and every knave will grin and let you know br you're his compatriot here in this land.
