Or at least the body does.
It takes enormous effort
To go against the body
Determined to keep living
Irrespective of life’s worth,
The reason that suicides
Are both relatively rare
And overly violent.
If the thoughts could cheerfully
Advise the body drifting
Off to sleep, die in deep sleep,
Darling, before the morning,
Or even the morning dreams,
And the body could do so,
The species would soon dwindle
Peacefully, longevity
Being the quirk of a few
Who were mostly curious
And confident they could go
Any time they wanted to.
