An automatic

pilot does not make mistakes --


fatal ones at most.

If you don't take risks,

you put everything at stake:


you risk all your life.


Juist als je niets durft,Jeder, der nichts wagt,
zet je alles op het spel:setzt eben alles aufs Spiel:

je hele leven.sein ganzes Leben.

Zywa Frail

Everyone knows
from the daily news
the places and times

are wrong sometimes, suddenly
people are no longer alive and we
forget it again, so frail
are our feelings

and thoughts as well
under which we don't want
to suffer and be weighted down

Rather we keep up
that we are safe, twice a day
we see beside the screens

the good of our lives
and against the bad luck
that slips through
we arm ourselves with humor

Everyone knows
about being silent, alone
or together, then it is less bad

Walking in full light,

yet unexpectedly touched --


by a shadow hand.


In het volle lichtAm helllichten Tag
toch onverhoeds aangeraakt --unerwartet berührt, von --

door een schaduwhand.einer Schattenhand.
