"We the willing, led by the unknowing, are doing the impossible for the ungrateful. We have done so much, with so little, for so long, we are now qualified to do anything, with nothing" By Konstantin Josef Jireček, a Czech historian, diplomat and slavist.

A land in Which we Must Guard our Thighs

Our land has become a land
in which we must guard our thighs
like a man guarding crops from birds.
Young men attack our thighs;
they attack us and break our teeth.
We are tangled in our little huts;
we are prevented from sleep.
