Suicide Equality

 
Why do men commit suicide more often than women
Yet strangely, the truth is, women attempt it more
Are men just simply better at it than women
Are men just more macho or are they braver
Are more female suicides just cries for help
Are men more interested in death than help
Maybe men are just more serious about it
Men shoot themselves in the head more
Men hang themselves with a rope more
Men are more likely slit their own throat
Women tend, when they are serious about it
To favour drug overdoses, slitting wrists
In the bath or swallow diving from tall buildings
Men will jump in front of speeding trains
They will drive their cars into brick walls
Women tend to attempt suicide and fail more
Especially when they phone a friend or ambulance
More men end up on cold, marble slabs
It seems like men are not suicide equal
It seems men are superior at killing themselves
If women seriously want true equality
They are going to have to learn how
To successfully kill themselves
In much greater numbers
In this call for suicide equality
To be properly established
Go Ladies
