Staatssicherheit

East Berlin Before the wall fell Under the lamppost In silhouette tell So still they stood To a window they look They put the fear of death In scare ridden spook These Ministry shadows Who haunted neighbourhoods Persecuting the weak Because they know they could After the wall fell It became their demise This Stasi, State Security In all out despise Many people died Or simply disappeared By these silhouettes under the lamppost That a nation feared After the wall fell They were hunted and traced This Stasi, State Security Have finally been erased http://www.thehighlanderspoems.com/places.php
