For me, the term is "middle class"; means a safe, comfortable policy in the middle of the road. First of all, our language is “middle class”; in the middle of our road. To transfer it to one side or the other, or even from the road, is the noblest task of the future.

but will not fade,
I color not in the meadow,

Sheep quietly race
but I love wolf meat.
Wolf: the wolf's anger, the wolf become.

Black bird flies over the world,
So plaintively sings...
Who heard, forget about everything;
Who heard, inconsolable suffering,
Happiness doesn't wait.
In midnight black sit down sometimes
Death finger it to relax;
The death of her stroking his bony hand:
"Be my bird, obedient to it"...
The bird will fly up, continuing on his way.

otherwise each other, they will kill.
The Christian right, a real comfort.
And comes to my mind in an hour of leisure
why peoples
not just one by one beat, and each other?

Schön ist eigentlich alles was man mit Liebe betrachtet.
Beautiful it seems all that you see with love.
