Suicide ain't no solution folks
(This poem actually helped a few to rethink suicide and dissuaded them from committing it. So I like to post it, you never know who it might help)
When life
seems all hopeless
still don't you loose
all scope of hope
for there's
this thing
dangling
in the air,
Reach out
for God's sturdy rope.
For how
sure can
you be
that
death will
take you
to a better fate
What if [font=Verdana]
you are
plunged
into a
plight
much
worse
where there's no turning
back at any rate!
In times of trials and tribulations invoke Him
Or your chances of contentment remain slim
You too haven't been infallible and above all blame,
that you wish for a perfect rosy life
The excuses for suicide are usually so lame,
Better enjoy your share even so in strife.
Donot
friend, plan to commit this act
just to invoke another's pity and regret.
The pity and regret will come and go
Besides it soothes no decomposed,
and a large slice of your life
May lie in waste, your soul disposed
Why rush for thy grave,
It may further gloom.
Suicide's ain't a way out
fellow human friend.
Pray a godless way ,not send
you unto this doom.
You haven't right to bring
any life to its end.
And it's probable that all
those years
that you now wish to recklessly
discard in dust
have something bright ahead,
got to be a ray of
hope
Extinguish it not if in God
you trust!

indeed no solution
a positive read
and as you've mentioned above
it has already helped turn back few troubled souls from the brink
there is no better reward than that
for any poet
and only The One who grants the blessing knows the reward in the hereafter for the inker.
gem of a write
and this too
is poetry
human
heartfelt!

Re. Suicide ain't no solution folks
Yes, this is a message of hope but it is not a solution. We do have the right to take our own lives but it is a very extreme act & should always be seen as the very last resort of which there can be no return. I believe death is the final comfort for us, extinguishing all pain & despair but I agree that we should never rush into suicide, as sometimes the act can be a cry for help; for seemingly trivial reasons, as you say, for example, to invoke pity & regret. I occasionally have fleeting suicidal thoughts, as a way out of an unhappy situation but I manage to look towards the horizon in search of that brighter future of new opportunities & adventure/possibilities. As soon as I have thought about the idea of suicide, I quickly categorize it as stupid. Nice write. It is thought-provoking.

Re. Suicide ain't no solution folks
Well prayers to the one true God has helped many against suicide, I feel suicide is a more painful hopeless way to end ones own life, yes death is the final comfort but we should still live this life for no one knows the future it could be bright, nice to know you do manage to dissuade yourself by hope, and do think it's silly to commit it. Long live you to write on here poet, thanks so much for your thoughts on this.

It is very sad to see science discarded for religion, depression and suicide are medical conditions no different than a broken arm or leg, not to mention there is no one true god, but many.

Re: Re. Suicide ain't no solution folks
Not my newest poem but thanks for your opinions. I've personally seen a lady who wasn't helped by so many meds and pharmaceuticals yet praying to God helped her recover completely.
When you say there are many gods , what proof or need is there for many gods in the polytheistic sense that you mean? One God is more than enough.
Peace and consider.

I am not big on institutionized religion but I appreciate this write and hope it might make some people re consider. I guess what I really get annoyed by, are people who use suicide or the threat of it to manipulate others or get validation and attention. There are better ways. I also fear that the more it is talked about in that manner, the less we care....it's like crying wolf all the time. One of these days we stop paying attention to a person who really needed the help. All that being said....I appreciate your message.

Well friend, I'm soo glad you can leave your biases against all religion and still appreciate the poem for well wishers message. Yeah manipulation is sickening perhaps yet all need to consider other ways than suicide to get what they want.
Warm thanx for your thoughts, now I'm excited about reading yours, I haven't yet right.

This definitely inspires deeper thoughts into the ends of the means. I've often spent many nights crying out to God for release from this earth but suicide is not on the table because as you say, there's no guarantee it will improve the situation. Thank you. It's lovely.

it's a well crafted and constructed poem, showing great skill and word usage. Clearly you have the talent to get your message out there.
It is your title and parts of you message that I disagree with, lots of broad brush stroke statements / cliche's - some lines bordering on being offensive.
I fight for your rights to hold these views and hope you will fight for my rights to disagree - I have written a poem in response - you inspired me

Re: Re. Suicide ain't no solution folks
Thanks so much for a great review and critique, why my title not agreeable to u? Yeah broad brush strokes, coz English is not my mother tongue so I can't go too deep in it yet. I would have loved it if u pointed out the cliche and offensive parts.
But let me tell you this is written in somewhat motherly reprimand tones, the way I would drive sense in my kid if they were veering towards suicide, so all in good faith and well wishes good intentions really. The poem helped to psychologically discourage suicide in some readers in the past.
I'm gonna check out your poem , perhaps it will show me what u disagree with so I can rationalise about it u see.

Re: Re. Suicide ain't no solution folks
As an ex Christian and actual suicide survivor
I was angered by the sweeping lines in this ink.
I am very appreciative of Your (David) response.
I'm going to assume the ink is spilled from someone who has never felt the intense emotions that go along with even considering.

I tell you a decade ago I had suicidal and God was the only solace and moral support , but you have to connect to the immortal God, connecting to mortal gods doesn't help as I noticed. So no I wasn't making sweeping lines snugly like an outsider, it was self motivation in poem that helped motivate others against suicide as well. So I wrote this as an insider many years ago elsewhere and post it on different forums to extend the help. The tone is only motherly, .nbest wishes.

Well poet, by immortal gods I mean idols, or mortals like Jesus and other humans who have been godified , or even animals or trees taken as gods. Those are creations of God so no point asking them for help. You see even theistic scientists like Einstein believed in an impersonal God, a higher power and not any mortal god.
Noh I'm a very gentle patient lass so u can say what you want, and I don't react rudely unless someone is wickedly mean.
Peace n cheers.

Deserves to be out there, especially when there are elements who see doing something suicidal that happens to be against a perceived enemy as 'martyrdom'.

Re. Suicide ain't no solution folks
Hmm I see yeah of course! Those if there are any such, who are suicide bombers who blow themselves up and innocent civilians just out of political hate as I perceive it. Even those suicide bombers who did it for revenge are wrong if they do it killing innocent civilians with themselves. But I refuse to believe there are any who blow themselves up simply for religious martyrdom. Revenge and political hate is the real true motive and sometimes it is done by someone else and made to look like it's them when it's not. I've studied terrorism a lot u see coz I despise it as very un Islamic and anti Islamic thing all that terrorists do.
Thanks soo much, you gave me thoughts, that's what I like about commentary and exchange of views thereby.
Hey and I'm excited about reading yours too. Peace n cheers.

Thanks so much for your views on this. I really am impressed how u put it, life's a gift of Gid so we can't just dump it in graves even if we don't like it. We don't do that to friends boxed gifts even when we don't like them so we shouldn't do it to God's present.
Cheers!

I thought this was not only well written, but very true. I personally have never had thoughts of suicide and thank God for that. I have personally seen it, after the fact many times, in many different ways, and looks horrible, plus the effects on those it leaves behind.
