Self-Destruction

We are all killing ourselves.

Some with guns, others with pills, knives, rivers, ropes,

And all manners of human ingenuity.

Folks in a hurry prefer shortcuts.

Most take their time on the scenic route.

Lifestyle is their poison,

Whether it’s poor diet, substances, sloth, or stress,

The result is the same— an early-bird ticket 

to a one bedroom apartment in the ground.

If it happens over 60 years, is it still considered suicide?
