And yesterday Valentine died.


And when you are dead, then what
Does your spirit return to God
Or do you expect to see all your loved ones
And what if you do not have any

And if you're still alive, then what
Do you hand your soul to God
Or do you sell it to the devil
And what if you do not have a soul to sell

And when you are born, then what
If you then later notice
That for you this was a mistake
And your life is not the life you wish

And when you are dying, then what
When the physician shocks your heart
Because he thinks you do not deserve death just yet
And forces you to suffer further with a broken rib cage

And when all has been taken from you by man, then what
When every choice you make is already no longer free
And they chastise you with the burden of a lifelong mortgage
But what if your due can only be forgiven by that One God

Then where can you still go?
To Whom do you turn?
To yet a Valentine?
-
Not on February 14.
