Bertolt : clerihew : Brecht Series 1
[POET’s NOTE : This is the first of five poems on Revolutionary Poet, Bertolt Brecht, who had a profound impact on South African revolutionaries during the transition into a National Democratic state from an Apartheid one. We often read from his works during mass meetings for change.
Brecht worked in hexameters, rhyming quatrains, sonnets, ballads, unrhyming verse in regular meters, as well as shapes, as occasion demanded. For Brecht, technique & form mattered less than content, except that it held content stable. ]

Bertolt Brecht, his revolutionary vivid poems are etched into spinal nerves deep
his dramatic language caused awakenings from ignorant sleep
poetic outpourings against war flashed bleep bleep
he had to flee home country with human consciousness to sweep
