Agnita Feis: De eer (gedicht)

This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is AgnitaFeis-04.jpeg

De eer.

t Is een
kanon.
‘t Is een
geweer….

Men schiet.
Men moordt:
Maar ‘t is
voor d’eer!

Men steekt
elkaar
een mes
in ‘t hart,

En zie
zoo’n daad
is wit,
niet zwart.

Want ‘t is
voor d’eer!
Men steelt.
Men brandt.

En zie
‘t is goed,
want ‘t is
voor ‘t land!

Vervloekt
die eer!
Vervloekt
dat land!

Vervloekt
de mensch!
Vervloekt
de hand,

die grijpt
naar ‘t zwaard,
die grijpt
naar d’eer,

die grijpt
in bloed.
Steeds meer.
Steeds weer.

Weg met
die eer!
Z’is voos!
Z’is rot!

Wat maakt
zij van
den mensch?
Een zot!

Agnita Feis
(1881 – 1944)
Uit: Oorlog. Verzen in Staccato (1916).

Joe Hill’s Last Will (Poem written in his cell on the eve of his execution)

Last Will

My will is easy to decide,
For there is nothing to divide.
My kind don’t need to fuss and moan —
“Moss does not cling to a rolling stone.”

My body? Ah, If I could choose,
I would to ashes it reduce,
And let the merry breezes blow
My dust to where some flowers grow.

Perhaps some fading flower then
Would come to life and bloom again.
This is my last and final will.
Good luck to all of you.

Joe Hill
(1879-1915)
Last Will
Written in his cell on the eve of his execution

Joe Hill was sentenced to death after being accused of the murder of two shopkeepers. His conviction is often disputed by historians. On November 18, 1915, one day before his execution, he wrote his last will. On that same day, he sent a telegram to fellow IWW member Bill Haywood, telling him: “Don’t waste time mourning – Organize!”
