On the map – a place’s exposed

On the map – a place’s exposed:
Blood flows to the face!
In the agony of the cross,
Villages here blaze.

The land is split – a pole ax
Is the border pole.
On the world - an ulcer:
Will consume the world!

From doors to regal mountains -
It cannot be reversed -
To eagle’s nests – for thousands
Square unending versts -

An ulcer.
Laying down to rest:
A Czech is buried alive.
A wound in the nation’s chest:
One of our own has died!

The instant this place is mentioned
Brotherly - tears run.
Swine, celebrate deception!
Rather well done.

Hail Judas, disgraced!
We – with hearts - are certain:
On the map - a barren place:
Conscience burden.

November 19 - 22, 1938
