A Special Poem
Posted 01-09-2009 at 10:33 PM by WildChild
This was written by Norbert Capek, in 1941 while he was in Dresden prison, he was lter transfered to Dachau where he died in 1942. I think it's a beautiful expression of the ultimate defiance
It is worthwhile to live
and fight courageously
for sacred ideals.
O blow ye evil winds
into my body's fire
my soul you'll never unravel.
Even though disappointed a thousand times
or fallen in the fight
and everything would worthless seem,
I have lived amidst eternity --
Be grateful, my soul --
My life was worth living.
He who was pressed from all sides
but remained victorious in spirit
is welcomed into the choir of heroes.
He who overcame the fetters
giving wings to his mind
is entering into the golden age of
the victorious.
