Jumper

90 Floors up 
But now is my time
No time to ask why
The dreams and plans we had of tomorrow 
Are now but as dust
Escape from this heating torment
I must now prepare myself for nothing
As those falling before
As those falling after
My release of grasp 
I go to nothing

This is a piece about the poor folks who jumped to their deaths on 9/11 in New York ! I hoped people would pick up the jist! My poetry is so Crap !!

You capture well the feelings of someone on the edge of self-destruction, Nigel. Keen insight into the dark side of human nature adds a lot of power to this poem. Well done! Love, Carolyn
