The industrialist is having his aeroplane serviced. <br />The priest is wondering what he said in his sermon eight weeks ago <br />about tithes. <br />The generals are putting on civvies and looking like bank clerks. <br />Public officials are getting friendly. <br />The policeman points out the way to the man in the cloth cap. <br />The landlord comes to see whether the water supply is working. <br />The journalists write the word People with capital letters. <br />The singers sing at the opera for nothing. <br />Ships' captains check the food in the crew's galley, <br />Car owners get in beside their chauffeurs. <br />Doctors sue the insurance companies. <br />Scholars show their discoveries and hide their decorations. <br />Farmers deliver potatoes to the barracks. <br />The revolution has won its first battle: <br />That's what has happened.<br /><br />Bertolt Brecht<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/what-has-happened/
