Mortals are pathetic, full of cheats and lies.

When they give a second promise, the first promise already dies.

A boy says, “I promise I will love you forever, please be my girlfriend.”

A girl says, “I love you too. Please be my boyfriend.”

They all start great, holding hands and arms.

Until the day, when the he finds her no more charms.

Then he says, “Let’s break up and stop right here”

She says, eyes filled with tears,

“Didn’t you promise you love me forever?

That you never left, never leave, and will never leave me, ever?”

“Yes I do remember that”, says the boy.

“But when I said it, it was mixed with confusion and joy.

My passion led me to the wrong way

So I was there, confused and astray.

Now my passion died, the promise broke.

So I have to tell you, to give you the stroke.

That I never loved, never love, and will never love you, ever.

If you can’t take it, go to a nunnery or jump into the river.”

Poor girl, pitiful creature,

Who never imagined when she was in Cupid’s capture.

That which followed her sweet date,

Was her doomed fate.

She then jumps into the river.

Before she died, she realized

That grief and joy are two brothers.

One never goes alone without the other.

God doesn’t prefer one to the other.

It’s not even strange,

When love and fortune mutually change.

For love and fortune are in a cycle

Which ties every mortal that God loves to tickle.

For love determines fortune, whether to be here or to be gone,

And fortune leads to love, whether to be short or to be long.

If you don’t believe me in good faith,

Take a look at the people around Henry the Eighth.

Who’s Henry the Eighth? The king of England who had his church run

What did he want? Women, lands, and a powerful son.

“You, come to bed.

“Not you, ‘cause you are dead.”

“Love helped you, Anne Boleyn, to become my wife

But if you don’t give a boy, I’m sorry, but I will end your life.”

“Jane Seymour, I love you, let me get on to your body to explore.

Oh, good lord. You can give me a boy! I love you even more.”

How oblivious, cruel, and selfish mortals can be!

When they easily forget their promises and go into a love-spree.
