Eulogy

Eulogy

	                             Old is my aging mind
	                       Its lost its perception of time
	       Fading memories of yesterday were sublime
	              Those memories ...forgotten over time
	             Exaggerated after depression relapses
	   Seizures , fainting spells , and sudden collapses
	             Tired and bored of forgetting memories
	               When most yearn to heal and believe
	                               in mythical spirituals
	                  in cures and in near death miracles
	       Reap confusion and regret as their minds rotten
     Forget those who’ve forgotten those who’ll forget those who’ve forgotten
	                   How to remember common sense
     I’ve committed murder , it’s bad karma and I’ve lived in purgatory ever since
               Contracting common sense has cured my senility and ignorance
	       Took these pills and I’m waiting in suspense
	Dead , soul journed for seven days than materialized
	         Took the same pills here on the other side
	                                    Eulogy for suicide
