Leni Riefenstahl’s Tinder Box

There is no time to sympathize
With Leni Riefenstahl
Art is not created in a void
Any act of outrage
Cannot see through the tears
Wept for the fallen Fuhrer

Take to the green hills of Africa
We all know how photos lie
Sink to the bottom of the ocean
You will never see Olympia

He was the tinderbox
Lit Leni Riefenstahl
Art for art's sake is a lie
Talent's lonely virtue
Both profane and divine
Projecting noxious visions

Take to the green hills of Africa
We all know how photos lie
Sink to the bottom of the ocean
You will never see Olympia

There is no time to redefine
Leni Riefenstahl
Ignorance may be her only crime
Forget the Fuhrer
Forget the images
Art for art's sake is a lie

Take to the green hills of Africa
We all know how photos lie
Sink to the bottom of the ocean
You will never see Olympia
You will never see Olympia
You will never see Olympia
See Olympia
