Johanna Faust, a mixed race Jew, prefers to publish pseudonymously. She is committed: first, to preventing war, ecological disaster, and nuclear apocalypse; last to not only fighting for personal privacy & the freedom of information, but, by representing herself as a soldier in that fight, to exhorting others to do the same. She is a poet, always. All these efforts find representation here: "ah, Mephistophelis" is so named after the last line of Christopher Marlowe's Dr. Faustus, whose heretical success flouted the censor for a time.

M.W.K.P.A. | Masters of War, by Bob Dylan






UPDATE:

Grooveshark link fixed, note added.

You may now find links to listen (stream or otherwise) the song, or to the the official lyrics' text, after the faustian reimagining of Dylan, below, singing this song for a recent concert, which I did when I posted this in 2012 and which I decided to make full size because I fancy it is rather well done:

  6. that was tasteless here. also i am sure the resultant fallout would irradiate your hypothetical allies in such a case. not well thought out.

    this has been a mature, rational exchange of ideas.

    thank you for participating.
