The solution
After the Uprising on June 17th / The Secretary of the Authors' Union / Had leaflets distributed in the Stalinallee / Which said that the people / Had forfeited the government's confidence / And could only win it back / By redoubled labour. Wouldn't it / Be simpler in that case if the government / Dissolved the people and / Elected another?
Bertholt Brecht
That's a very interesting poem, but I don't think it can be suitably incorporated into the article text. The best solution would be to add an external link to where the poem could be accessed. --Sophitus 17:53, August 6, 2005 (UTC)
