Transcript
  • [calligraphy at left:] tile of the poster plus date 1977 [; poem written on the wall] The door for people to come and go is locked/The hole for dogs [traitors] to crawl out is open./A voice calls:/Crawl out and we will set you free!/I long for freedom/But I know deep down/That a human cannot crawl out of a hole for dogs!/I can only wait/For that day/When fire erupts from underground/Consuming this living coffin and me with it in flame,/So I should gain eternal life in fierce fire and hot blood.
