International

The youth and the Imperialist Tribune was also addressed by a young girl
from Nicaragua whose hands had been cut off at the wrists by the former
Samosa guards.
Veronika Merko, of the German Federal Republic, had this to say:
«Also, ich habe eine Ausbildung gemacht als Industriekaufmann und wurde nach
der Lehre nicht uebernommen.»
«Well, I had finished my training as an industiral clerk but was not taken up.»
Now and then
A little thing gets by
Now and then
we’ll cry
Like a fall in a war
Like a mother’s open arms
Like a pawn in a game
Hard to take
There we sit in a line
Wasting fortunes at a time
And pray
All the time we are gone
There’s no reason
There’s no way
Oh the sound is the one
So they say
There we sit on a line
Wasting fortunes at a time
And play
She never thought
He’d be this way
Her arms aloft
She holds
But now it’s all a memory
And it’s gone
