13.) Lass‘ sie geh’n Manche Gefühle kann kein Mensch verstehen Manche Gedanken kennt eh‘ nur der Wind Es gibt Gefahren die kann man erst sehen wenn man schon hinter dem Scheitelpunkt steht an dem’s kein Zurück mehr, nur noch Vorwärts gibt, lass‘ sie geh’n Für manche Probleme gibt’s nur dan eine Lösung wenn du auch bereit bist die Lösung zu seh’n Erkennst du die Handschrift des Guten im Bösen? Dann siehst du das nichts aus dem Zufall entsteht Und dass es immer irgendwie weitergeht, lass‘ sie geh’n Lass‘ sie geh’n ihren eig’nen Weg zu finden Lass sie geh’n ganz gleich auch wie weit Was nützt es dir schon sie an dich festzubinden? Dein größter Freund ist die Zeit Die Jahre vergeh’n, du wirst älter und weiser Fragen werden durch Antworten ersetzt Du bist klüger geworden, und auch etwas leiser Denn schließlich hast du die Geheimschrift entdeckt die in jeder einzelnen Begebenheit steckt

selbst in dem Schmerz der jetzt weit zurück liegt im Hall der Entscheidung der niemals versiegt, „lass‘ sie geh’n“

(Ch. +) ... der sie in deine Arme zurücktreibt allerspätestens in der Ewigkeit

14.) Selbstmitleid

(June 8, 2004)

In meinem Kopf lief heut‘ ‘ne Show von ganz besond’rer Art Der Showhost, Mr. Ego präsentierte seinen Star „Maine Damen, meine Herren, heut‘ mit von der Partie: das Selbstmitleid mit seiner Show ‚Fühl‘ mich so elend wie noch nie‘“ Ein Hauch von seinem Zaubergas verwandelt dich im Nu in Kummersack und Trauerkloß mit ihrem Hit „Buhu“ Buhuhuhu, buhuhuhu, buhuhuhu, buhuhuhu Das Selbstmitleid im Rampenlicht verneigte sich ganz tief & widmete dann mir persönlich sein allerneu’stes Lied Es hieß „Du armer, mega-oberallerärmster Mann“ und zog mich dann mit seiner Melodie in seinen Bann Buhuhuhu, buhuhuhu, buhuhuhu, keiner hört mir zu außer Du Du kamst durch meine Tür nicht durch den Kopf sondern durch’s Herz Tratst meinem Teufel in den Hintern dass er flog, ganz ohne Scherz Mit einer kalten Dusche triebst du auch Herrn Ego fort das Wasser war so kühl und klar, das Wasser was Dein Wort Juhuhuhu, keiner kämpft wie Du Du wandelst meine Traurigkeit in Freude um im Nu Juhuhuhu alles wird gut Wo gestern noch die Einsamkeit war, da bist heute Du

15.) Bin ich jetzt ein Terrorist? Bin ich jetzt ein Terrorist weil ich für eure Riesentraumfabrik einfach zu wach bin? Weil ich das was ihr uns eintrichtern wollt nicht schluck‘, sondern sag‘, „So’n Schwachsinn!“? Steh‘ ich jetzt auf eurer schwarzen Liste weil ich nur allzu gerne wüsste wie ich dem ganzen Schrott-System meinen Mittelfinger zeig‘? Werd‘ ich jetzt von euch geächtet weil ich mein gutes Recht verfechte zu tun & lassen und zu glauben was ich schlicht und einfach tun, und glauben mag? Seid ihr jetzt gar sehr empört weil es mich ganz heftig stört dass ihr uns betäubt, belügt & aussaugt; von früh bis spät bespitzelt, ausraubt, versucht uns in den Schlaf zu wiegen, den letzten Freiheitsdrang besiegen, benutzt wie eine wegwerfbare Batterie? Würdet ihr mich jetzt gern zerquetschen, eliminieren und zerfetzen, die nackte Wahrheit ausradier’n? Ich sag‘ euch gleich, das schafft ihr nie! Für jeden von uns den ihr töten werdet verliert ihr tausend eurer Herde dein Hass bringt dich unter die Erde, du großer Sonnengott, ich prophezei‘ dir deinen Fall Du kamst herab, du Stern des Morgens, wolltest dir die Welt mal eben borgen „Wer braucht den Himmel wenn man Hölle haben kann?“ Bin ich jetzt ein Terrorist weil ich schrei, „Bezahlt die GEZ nicht!“ Bezahlst du deinen Nachbarn etwa auch dafür dass sein Hund in deinen Garten kacken darf? Meine Ohren sind Geschwülste, wund und taub von dem Gesülze mit dem ihr uns tagein tagaus schier bombardiert Werd‘ ich jetzt auf das Schafott kommen weil ich sag‘ „Boykottiert die T-kom!“ oder „Leute, stoppt das Ferkel!“ „Poli-ticker sind Null-Blicker!“ „Herr Professor, Sie sind im Irrtum!“ „Herr Doktor, Sie sind Quacksalber! Schluck‘ deine Medizin doch selber oder amputiert euch doch mal selbst das falsche Bein!“? Ihr habt Denjenigen verachtet Der euch den Sinn des Lebens brachte, wolltet Ihn in eine Schachtel stecken

in ein Haus mit vielen bunten Ecken mit Orgelsound am Sonntag Morgen und Glockenklang So wahr Er auferstanden ist, ich bin wie Er kein Terrorist, zumindest keiner der mit Spielzeugwaffen kämpft Sein Wort ist meine Munition. Sag‘ jetzt nicht gleich, „Ach, kenn‘ ich schon!“ Denn du weisst nichts und das was du zu wissen glaubst hat man dir nur einverleibt Und wenn du denkst ich bin voll panne und hab‘ wohl einen an der Kanne dann pass‘ mal schön auf was noch bald vor uns geschieht: Wieviel Eier kannst du kochen, wieviele Tage oder Wochen wirst du überleben wenn man dir den Stecker zieht? Wenn jeder Laden an der Ecke ganz einfach zu ist, Mann, verrecke! Die Welt ist eh‘ überbevölkert - oder nicht? Man muss die Massen dezimieren und das Gesindel eliminieren. Gestern die Juden, morgen die Christen und alle ander’n Terroristen und dann, was dann? Wie fein und, ach, wie toll wird’s sein: Dann läuten wir die neue Ära des großen Führers aller Heere, die langersehnte, wunderschöne neue Weltordnung - ganz ohne Bargeld - ein. Receive the Mark, or die!

16.) El Tiempo del Fin Mañana la vida será mas facil de lo que es hoy dia se piensa el idiota que ignora las senas de la sombra oscura La guerra avanza y pronto nos traerá la última etapa y parte del tiempo del fin La Bestia subirá del agua de muchos pueblos y gentes y harà la guerra en contra de los que tienen el testimonio de vida se abrirá el libro de las palabras de vida del Cordero, pues, es el tiempo del fin Profetas de los siglos heacharon sombras de hoy en sus profecías Perdidos los almas de los que siguen al hijo de la perdicion Benditos los muertos que mueren en el Señor desde ahora, ya que es el tiempo del fin

Benditos los muertos que en el Señor mueren de ahora Benditos los muertos que mueren en el Señor
