Glass, Gold, Drones: Beethoven's Outburst to the New World Order

This world! Madness! A frenzy!

Can you believe it? Just now Dubai – Glass! Gold! Towers up to the Zeus sky! A pride that crashes! And now? ---War! Fire! I see it in the box – this flickering monster of a computer!

Shame! Shame on this cleverness!

The same fist that builds skyscrapers now presses the button for murder! Mathematically! Precisely! A god in invention – a beast in feeling! That's what you are! Surgical strikes? Ha! A mockery! The surgeon heals – but you tear the flesh of humanity apart! With birds of iron! Drones! No heartbeat in them! Only death! Silent, cowardly death from afar!

Ich versteh’s nicht! Es verwirrt mich! Es peinigt mein Hirn!

In the past – yes! – it was clear! There was an emperor! There was a prince! An enemy had a face! A battle had drums, gunpowder smoke, sweat! You knew where the hate sat! And today? Everything rushes! News flies like lightning! No one knows who pulls the strings! A web! A tangle of greed and invisible power! Everything anonymous! Everything confused! A chaos of buttons and switches! Prometheus – he gave you the fire! For warmth! For light! And you?

You burn the world down with it!
You use the light of knowledge to illuminate the darkness of malice!

Elysium – you could have it! The technology is there! But you prefer to build drones instead of harps! You split the atom, but cannot tame the hate!

A shining corpse – that is your culture!

I cannot write! My hand trembles! My realm is in the air – but this air here is polluted by powder and lies! Away! Into the tones! Where no iron bird flies! Where only the spirit fights! – But today... today the muse is silent! She is ashamed! She cries!

Enough! That's enough!
