„Du Kräftiger, sei nicht so still,
Wenn auch sich andere scheuen.
Wer den Teufel erschrecken will,
Der muß laut schreien.“

1933 was the time for Hitler to rise and for books to be burned.
Many Authors left their burning art behind and ran as fast as they could to save their life and their talent... today books get banned and reviews get lost in deletion. Human kind runs in circles and seems unable to break it, be it due to fanaticism or to political correctness.
Non off this has anything to do with art, everything can be, and sometimes it is just simple greed that suffocates us.

But it is a human right to express yourself freely, stand up for it, speak out when it get's broken.
So weep a little bit and get away with what you can and have to areas where you can breath freely and where you can say and think whatever you want.
