Analysis of the world is my country

Markus Kiener 1960 (Regensdorf)



the sky-animals
don’t care about the government
but humans do
the land-animals
don’t care about the government
but humans do
the sea-animals
don’t care about the government
but humans do
humans don’t know
the world is my country
but animals do
