Suicide
(Dedication: For Robin Williams, RIP)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Death stalks here and there:
Just stop, stare and see;
Death lurks everywhere...
Fancy what death sets free?
For most of us death frees:
Grime and dirt plenty;
That's quite a true story...
Not what greets fancy?
Pain brings fond disdain:
Beyond what we see;
Despair creates more pain...
A suicide's mad story?
So many sad mad takes:
Overtures flood pain;
Nothing for goodness sake...
Suicide note now stains?
Sad story news flash:
Death by your own hands;
Soul torn from weary flesh...
Hope you understand?
Please don't judge me dear:
My pains were too much;
But one thought looks quite clear...
Death does not begrudge!
