(Un)real: Versions of Experience

War is no longer declared,

but rather continued.

The outrageous has become the everyday.

The hero is absent from the battle.

The weak are moved into the firing zone.

The uniform of the day is patience,

the order of merit is the wretched star

of hope over the heart.

- Ingeborg Bachmann
