Ich bitte um Erlaubnis, ihn holen zu dürfen."
„Erlaubnis abgelehnt!", sagte der Kompaniechef,
„ich möchte nicht,
dass Sie das Leben für jemanden aufs Spiel setzen,
der wahrscheinlich schon tot ist."
Trotzdem ging der Soldat auf die Suche
und kehrte eine Stunde später tödlich verwundet zurück, auf den Schultern den toten Freund.
Der Befehlsgebende raste vor Wut:
„Ich habe Ihnen doch gesagt, dass er tot ist.
Jetzt habe ich Sie beide verloren.
Sagen Sie selber,
hat es sich nun gelohnt, den Toten herzuschleppen?"
Der Sterbende antwortete:
„Oh ja. Als ich zu ihm kam, lebte er noch und sagte mir: »Ich war mir sicher, dass du kommen würdest.«"
Anthony de Mello
*******************************************************************************
Lay down your sweet and weary head
Night is falling, you have come to journey's end.
Sleep now, and dream of the ones who came before.
They are calling from across the distant shore.
Why do you weep? What are these tears upon your face?
Soon you will see all of your fears will pass away,
safe in my arms you're only sleeping.
What can you see on the horizon? Why do those white gulls call?
Across the sea a pale moon rises --
The ships have come to carry you home.
Dawn will turn to silver glass A light on the water All souls pass.
Hope fades into the world of night through shadows falling out of memory and time. Don't say, "We have come now to the end."
White shores are calling you and I will meet again. And you'll be here in my arms Just sleeping.
What can you see on the horizon? Why do those white gulls call? Across the sea
a pale moon rises --
The ships have come to carry you home.
And all will turn to silver glass A light on the water Grey ships pass
Into the west.
Annie Lennox: Into the West.

Keep me around, waiting behind glass
In case you need, i'll be your piece of ass
Pretend to want me, string me along
Break glass if needed, you can make me crawl
'cause you make me feel like a dog
You can't see my emotion
Is this for real?
I'm a man sinking deep
I was strung out for such a long, long time
Now i own myself, yes i am mine
No longer will i be your just in case
No longer your shit do i need to to taste
'cause you make me feel like a dog
You can't see my emotion
Is this for real?
I'm a man sinking deep
I don't wanna be your just in case boy
I don't wanna be your just in case
Oh no
