Timur, I hear, took the trouble to conquer the earth.
I don’t understand him.
With a bit of hard liquor you can forget the earth.
I’m not saying anything against Alexander,
Only I have seen people who were remarkable,
Highly deserving of your admiration
For the fact that they were alive at all.
Great men generate too much sweat.
In all of this I see just a proof that
They couldn’t stand being on their own
And smoking and drinking and the like.
And they must be too mean-spirited to get
Contentment from sitting by a woman.
Did you enjoy the the artible “I’M Not Saying Anything Against Alexander” from Bertolt Brecht on OZOFE.COM? Do you know anyone who could enjoy it as much as you do? If so, don't hesitate to share this post to them and your other beloved ones.
