Wolfgang Hampel: I have a nightmare, it's huge, reality is overtaking satire and I'm unemployed!
The sky and Berlin

On the German nature
should heaven also heal now?
If they introduce the debt brake,
will this really fuel the need for austerity?
Are they in great need up there?
Berlin makes an offer to heaven,
with gender, feminist politics.
Isn't that a step backwards?
The heavenly hordes demonstrate.
What happened to them?
The Christ child quickly cancels Berlin,
explains ruthlessly openly and succinctly.
Let's see Germany day and night,
we're out of our minds.
The earlier poets and thinkers are stupid!
The PISA students are pissing off in the backyard.
The government has lost the trust of most people.
You have conspired against yourselves.
We don't have to change the pope either.
That will hardly change in 1000 years.
We have no problem with feminism
This is solved very easily for us.
We come to a common denominator very quickly,
There are far more women than men up here.
On the subject of illegal migrants,
something we never knew here.
Not everyone comes in here,
that remains and will always be the case.
The chaotic energy policy
will definitely break your neck.
You missed the chance!
Most people hate your stubbornness.
You are grist for the mill of the populists,
that nestle everywhere.
You are doing progress a disservice.
Your politics are really not a hit.
The Smurf with his eye patch,
his memory also seems to be made of cardboard,
it won't be Alzheimer's after all,
yes - the scandal is catching up with him now.
In the flood area he walks around with leather shoes,
It's not just that it almost knocks me out.
He always announces many things,
and doesn't hold much, the dwarf man!
I want to keep quiet about finances
that puts the crown on the whole thing.
You want to be an example for heaven and earth.
In truth, you are incompetent and small.
The debt brake is important
However, it seems just right
not to exaggerate virtue,
in order not to wear down the state.
They remain true to you, the ghosts,
you just throw the money out the window,
Priorities are appropriate now,
instead of just rambling, otherwise good night!
Do you embody the German essence?
If so, no one wants to recover from you.
We want to send the light of knowledge.
Before that, please never let yourself be seen again!
Whoever plays around with the spirit of the times,
constantly just the culture cancels.
Even Santa Claus is threatened with a ban.
Then you clowns we see red.
This is what the announced turning point means
your end will come sooner than expected,
Anyone who avoids making important decisions
which in the end everything fails.
We, who don't stick to armchairs or anywhere else,
don't want to give cheap advice,
don't praise terrorists like the climate Pippi,
are realists at heart.
Can the future save you?
We have reasonable doubts
but there are always miracles,
That's why we're singing songs of hope today.
We wish everyone, that's clear
only the best - really true.
Health and happiness in the new year,
a progressive government with little blah, blah.
