The Truth Unites by Bertolt Brecht

Friends, I would wish you should know the truth and say it!
Not like the tired fleeing Caesars ‘Tomorrow we get the rations!’
But like Lenin: Tomorrow evening
We are done for, UNLESS…
As the little nursery rhyme has it:
           Brother, to the solution
           Of this problem now I turn
           No way out of our precarious position
           No way we can cut and run’.
Friends, a robust confession
And a robust UNLESS !
