Say no to suicide

The Poet's Corner
By Malcolm Little Black

Piqued by the turn of events 
he drank a cup of vitriol
And joined his ancestors

His life was a woody perennial plant,
With its share of roses
And kindred of thorns
“And death, the key 

To the gate of freedom”
He thought…

But alas,
Life holds the padlock

Beloved;

Abortion is not always a sin
Especially when spurred by
the counsel of impulse

And it’s safer to take the pill
When the mind is pregnant 
with thoughts of suicide


And wear not
the cassock of remorse
When performing 
the righteous act

For better is the smell
of manslaughter
Than the stench
and stigma of self-murder

And no one can save him
from the claws of darkness,
The man that extinguished
his own light.
