* 4 Poems To Survivors Of Suicide

Folder: 
Immortal

 

HANS MAMLOCK


He wanted no carved script
engraved in mausoleum's crypt
for he knew the body
to be at best Spirit's prism
at worst Spirit's prison
None knew how much pain

caused a variant of hemlock

to be taken by Hans Mamlock

Footnote: Mamlock was a refugee

from Nazi Germany

NOT A DROP


Not a drop of love
you ever gave him
Not a sacrificing
kindness you ever
gave her
has been lost.
It is stored
in your loved ones
soul... and in the
Heart of God.

(to the mothers, fathers,
husbands, wives, children,
beloved friends of those
who have ended their
lives Only God can judge and

God doesn't want to)

SUICIDE NOTE

*

The note said only
'great parents...
too much pain'.

*

GOSSIP


As if one were throwing
manure into
a sanctuary,
gossipers
defile the air waves
of earth with
fastspreading thoughts..
which can not be retracted
.. unless God do miracles

The critic who throws

mudballs muddies his own

fingers


 

Author's Notes/Comments:

Causes of suicide include physical, emotional, mental or spiritual pain, loneliness, despair, poverty, confinement, rejection

Those who have ended
their lives are
increasingly being
admitted into Catholic
cemeteries, for
only God can judge.
