Why?

Why opt to take your own life?
While taking many other lives
Who have no connection whatsoever
To you or to your mission.....

Why commit suicide?
Feeling the deadliest pain
A human being can ever experience...
Without assurance or knowledge
Whatever your dream has come true or....

Promises are being kept
Why commit suicide?
When .....
There is a precious country to live
As a dignified citizen

When there is a land to call your own
Which is full of natural resources and democracy
When there are warm people.
Who treat you as daughter... sister or a close friend
Why?

Why commit suicide
When the visuals you watched are fake...
The things you heard are lies....
And
The one who told you to do so....
Is rich... selfish and alive!
