Probably For The Better (Part 2)
"the best often die by their own hand
just to get away,
and those left behind
can never quite understand
why anybody
would ever want to
get away
from
them" - Charles Bukowski (Cause And Effect)
.
I heard the twitter-tattle
of your life choice
the opinionated self-righteous
calling "coward" to the wind
-smiled at the irony of one
to damn fearful to admit
they've continued the same
process of degrading
towards
the after-life, dammit!
Thought of Marie Antoinette
wishing people without bread
would just eat cake!
In that moment, that moment
evolution ruled the calling to end
your pain ridden heart
I imagined you smiled
a deep, calm, beautiful,
smile of relief, with the
last remaining
-breath .
Respect!

This one doesn’t need the shit ripped out of it. No Sir.
What I find endearing about this is how some celebrity deaths (especially suicides) just rock us for no reason at all. I remember when Chris Cornell died and I was just sat there for like two full weeks in an utter state of disbelief that someone so talented could disappear.
And I hate to say this (even though it’s entirely true) but our men are struggling. That’s not right in the world either.
Thanks for shedding a light on this with your number 28.

you've nailed an important topic, that does need to be more openly discussed in your comment...

Thank you for that!
There is indeed a global issue that is being swept under the carpet! It needs OUT!
thank you again for saying that!
Blue Skies to you!

I especially appreciate the irony you point out in the self-righteous commentators who seem to have forgotten that their destination is the same. Great write on a subject so often misunderstood. ☺️

Hello
Thank you for being here, thank you for lending your eyes to my words, thank you for your thought provoking comment!
The irony is exactly the point of this write. At what point does it stop? let them rest peacefully!
Thank you for saying that!
Blue Skies at you!

fuck the first 2 paragraphs of this comment is poetry on it's own. you've captured everything I set out to do in this write just perfectly. I am grateful for that!
it's fantastic to find a reader, willing to share from their own experience in this regard.
Yeah, I think what the artist Ricky Rick has actually done, is make people take stock and realize the extent of the melancholy our world lives in at the current time.
Thank you for popping in, putting your eyes to this and of course sharing your thoughts. I'm most grateful!
Blue Skies Mate!
