Suicide's No Way Out

When life seems all hopeless still don't you loose all scope of hope for there's this thing dangling in the air Reach out for God's sturdy rope. For how sure can you be that death will take you to a better fate What if you are plunged into a plight much worse where there's no turning back at any rate! You too haven't been infallible and above all blame that you wish for a perfect rosy life The excuses for suicide are usually so lame better enjoy your share even so in strife. Donot friend, plan to commit this act just to invoke another's pity and regret The pity and regret will come and go besides it soothes no decomposed and a large slice of your life may go wasted. Why rush for thy grave, for greater gloom Suicide's ain't a way out fellow human friend Pray a godless way not send you unto this doom You haven't right to bring any life to its end. And it's probable that all those years that you now wish to recklessly discard in dust have something bright ahead, got to be a ray of hope Extinguish it not if in God you trust!

In the Jewish tradition suicide is frowned upon very strongly. Where there is life there is hope. You send a strong message in this work. Peace & Blessings Matthew Anish

What a sensitive and profound approach at tackling suicidal tendencies. What I find most unsettling is how most people only think of themselves when they try to end their life... they don't think about all the family and friends (people that cared about him) that would feel so much pain, when they make such a selfish decision... suicides don't just affect the person committing it... not by far.
