some choose suicide

convinced it's an easy way

to exit .. stage right

leaving families

destitute .. desperate now

sanity clinging

like a loud, cracked bell

echoing across the fields

of bare .. unsown land

if one thought people

were insane before .. again

please take time to think

frustration lingers

ever haunting the living

soul to soul to soul
