Goldfish Has Something Stuc

Questions from a Worker Who Reads -

Bertold Brecht

Who built Thebes of the seven gates?

The books mention the names of kings.
Did the kings haul the stones?


And Babylon, many times destroyed, Who built it so many times?

In what houses of Lima, the glittering gold, lived the masons?


Where were the builders finished the night the Wall of China?


magna Rome is full of triumphal arches. Who built them?


To whom won the Caesars? Byzantium, so praised, Does only had palaces for its inhabitants?


Even in the fabled Atlantis, the night he was devoured by the sea, cried the drowning men calling their slaves.


The young Alexander conquered India. alone?


Caesar beat the Gauls is not even a cook with him?


Philip of Spain wept when he sank his fleet, Anyone else cry?


Federico Second won the Seven Years War, who more beat?


Each page a victory. Who cooked it the feast of victory?


Every decade a great character. Who paid the bill?


So many reports, many questions.
