No longer will families
of those
who committed suicide
be barred from burying
their ashes
in the cemetery yard
for some are mystics
.. who the translucent
flimsy veil of life
aside brush
as onward in ecstasy
to the
Beloved they rush.
They are fire-freed
from the frequency
limiter known as the
body.
Author's Notes/Comments:
to the Buddhist
monks who set themselves
on fire to free Vietnam
from foreign domination and
the Hindu monks who
at the most auspicious
time threw themselves
into the Ganges ..
and the Irish hunger
fasters allowed by
Margaret Thatcher to
starve..
to all who engage
in life threatening
actions to help others
(While suicide bombers
and Kamikaze pilots
kill themselves with
courage, they harm
innocents* and are not
included as dedicatees.)
(In the eyes of
God, Allah, Shiva,
Divine Mother, Kwon Yin,
Great Spirit, Universal
Energy.. all are innocent)
