Suicides
Sit down and think about what you’ve got planned:
Is it your goal to change all of your deeds
To no importance? Honestly, it would;
What holds you off from living anyway?
Why do you think like this at all? You have
All sorts of things to live for: kids, a wife,
A bunch of friends, good work and happy life.
And I now… do you really think that you
Must end this? Well, if one’s to go it should
Be me – not that I’d say I should
Or anything. Why question me? You have
All things I don’t and I have had no good
Effects on people – though it matters not.
Why question yet again? Look here, my friend;
I’ve lost my mom and dad, I have no mate,
I care for none and hate my work… is that
Good reason? Nevermind. Die then, for I
Don’t care. I’m tired… I’m going home; goodbye.
what a lame poem. how could you focus on all that psychological nonsense like that? im sooo disappointed. i was looking forward to an explanation of this man's plan for taking his own life in graphic detail. something like... oh, i dunno... "i plan to tie a cat to my left big toe, then cover myself in turpentine, tie a fifty foot noose to my neck and a rail on the side of the roof of the empire state building, then jump down, lighting myself on fire as i fall." then id at least be sure the guy was really going to die.
This is an awsome poem. Keep it up.
