It's not a poem, but it's a little quote out of Günter Eich's book 'Träume' or 'Dreams':

Wake up, your dreams are bad! Stay awake, the nightmarishness [horror] is coming nearer.
To you it is coming, though you live far from the places of bloodshed. [...]

[...]

Be ornery [Be obstreperous], be as sand, not oil in the thirsty machinery of the world!

Joy is inside you. Not in attainment of things desired, nor in the achievement of goals made, but in the simple feeling that lies within you. Know that this joy is unaffected by outer circumstance, and joy will be yours forever.
