I choose to Die
Now that i shall sink and die in the nadirs of my own house;
And my tears shall trickle down and fall on the distrait soils of my land,
Now that i shall fall and wither
If at all I have to free myself from the need to be free
Now that I shall not live to see the tomorrow of tomorrow;
Where putrid hope is the best foundation for all choice,
The old remain in power and the youth can't raise a voice!
decreipt political shafts burn their dreams in to a desultory patch!
Now that i shall not live to see the breech birth of a born again religion;
that will denude minds and lead them astray
And its servants claim the word for a grist to their mill or play,
Faith unfaithful keep them falsely true!
Now that i shall not live to witness those civil contretemps evolve into wars,
while the government like Giles in the old rhyme wonder whether they are a government or not!
And their fatal blindness to immemorial history's warning signals
makes them to embrace further difficulties and further predicaments!
Now that i shall not be there to witness the ramifications of being there,
Now that i shall be there not to see not
that i shall breath my last and not be there to see
I CHOOSE TO DIE!
And my tears shall trickle down and fall on the distrait soils of my land,

And what does dying accomplish? It will not change this world. You might still see it after death, and walk among those here left behind. Do something to help a friend through the trials.
(Did you ever watch Christmas Carol, where the ghost shows Scrooge all the selfish people who died and haunt the earth, moaning because they did not help another person while alive? They grieve because they no longer have the opportunity to relieve another's sorrows.)

THIS POEM WAS CONSTRUCTED BASED ON A COUPLE OF REASONS, WHICH INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING;
-Idiots are in power
- It is too late to improve the years to come
- It is too late to save the environment
- Humanity will die out before we can get together and settle other worlds
- The solutions to save humanity are regarded as radical and will never be adopted
- Religion breeds contempt in others
- Religion breeds self loathing,hatred and fear
- There is more falling apart every day
- The amount of falling apart exceeds the amount of reparation
- People block alternatives to make more money
- Everyone lies
- The loss of appreciation of literature
- The loss of appreciation of the common man
THE CONSIDERATION OF ALL THIS REASONS GIVES U ONLY TWO OPTIONS WHICH ARE TO STRUGGLE AND DIE LATER OR TO DIE, SO I CHOOSE TO DIE
NOW THAT WE SURE WE CAN'T CHANGE THE WORLD-WE JUST HAVE TO TAKE THE PATH OF HONOUR.
