Time to quote Erich Kästner...

Fantasie von übermorgen

„Und als der nächste Krieg begann,
da sagten die Frauen: Nein!
und schlossen Bruder, Sohn und Mann
fest in der Wohnung ein.

Dann zogen sie in jedem Land,
wohl vor des Hauptmanns Haus
und hielten Stöcke in der Hand
und holten die Kerle heraus.

Sie legten jeden übers Knie,
der diesen Krieg befahl:
die Herren der Bank und Industrie,
den Minister und General.

Da brach so mancher Stock entzwei.
Und manches Großmaul schwieg.
In allen Ländern gab's Geschrei,
und nirgends gab es Krieg.

Die Frauen gingen dann wieder nach Haus,
zum Bruder und Sohn und Mann,
und sagten ihnen, der Krieg sei aus!
Die Männer starrten zum Fenster hinaus
und sahen die Frauen nicht an...“

Gabriele Kahn
