Value of Life, a Question

Value Of Life, A Question

Were I wizened, not shackled to mordacious horde,
I'd not loiter to elicit trifle rewards,
With my one cartridge, could I, end life sadly bored?

Doug Vinson Date: 4/6/2017 3:27:00 PM : ) Robert, I gave up on this contest seeing some of my fellow Soupers whacking out good three-liners. I think Freddie's response, below, is perfect.

Freddie Robinson Jr. Date: 4/5/2017 2:15:00 PM Powerful, simply powerful, Robert. The vital existential questions raised in this short dynamic poem is mind blowing, pardon the veiled pun. Excellent poem on a consciousness raising level. Love and joy to you. Login to Reply Robert Lindley Date: 4/6/2017 3:54:00 PM Thank you Freddie. I had hope to put power into the piece and elicit profound considerations of such a sad and tragic act if one decides to end their own life. In my long life, I have known over a dozen people that have done so.. Yet, still it is HARD TO GRASP..
