the creation of wealth - die hoffnung lyrics
the acolyte to his son:
appraise the sun
great gaudy failure
vulgar, loose light
fools’ gold and copper
and easy air
as free with pauper
as king
cheap thing
unbred
no father
no culture
no keeper
no deed
create behavior
invent unease
beauty
new need
wring out mean prayer
the market will answer
the market to the son:
listen, lamb:
the ringing coins;
the monger’s tongue;
the tallying drums
all once was
lonesome waste
tranquil horrors
i trembled—
a safe*crack shake—
into pieces
scattered
my assets across sp*ce
ash and embers
the gears
of glassen windy grace
transfigured
the halleluiah:
hurray!
hurray, the gilded day!
bless belief
service
and praise repay!
the market:
came dragons
a ruthless race
but no brain for figures
and microbes
what brilliant flakes
no ambition
brutes cried out
a wild and naked plaint:
give us yoke and master
a new ape
its tricks and artful face
was delivered
up*raised to trade the night and day
dirt and sea, bright machines, revelry
and weapons and wounds—what harmony!
rebuild and mend, alms unending, righteous fees
the entrepreneur’s prayer:
make haste to save me, marketplace
from pagan love and heathen peace
sell me your answers
the rest forsake
the rest forsake
give me their grace
wealth incarnate
