Suicide is a crazy thing. Taking your own life, wow you gotta be pushed far for that. When you come into this world all you got is your life. Nah that doesn’t accurately value your life. Your life is everything, without it you are not. There is no equal to life. A politician might be willing to sacrifice lives for a cause, but it’s lives for lives. If he doesn’t trade those lives, other lives are gonna be lost, probably more lives and if theyre not lost, something terrible is gonna happen to lives. Lives are the only thing equal to lives. There is no trading 50 dollars for a life. Maybe you pay 50 dollars to have someone killed, well you gotta have a reason to kill that man, he fucked your life up or made your life terrible. Maybe he took the life of your sister. Either way, it doesn’t make it a good thing. The taking of lives is never a good thing, even if he raped your sister. We have a penal system for that. Paying money to have someone killed is wrong cause the only thing equal to life is life and youre paying money to take life, money is not life, contrary to recent reports.
Anyways, a crazier thing might be police induced suicide. So youre a nutcase or whatever, you got medical problems that cause an imbalance or you’re uncle fondled you as a child and now you don’t know circle from triangle. You wanna go. This shit sucks right, youll press the delete button on yourself cause damnit it’s just too hard to keep playing this game. Okay, whatever. A reaction, reactions can be logical or illogical or other things, but it doesn’t invalidate them. You react by killing yourself. But instead of doing it, you get someone else to do it. So youre not really killing yourself but youre getting someone else to be forced to kill you. Huh? If you want to pull the plug, pull it, right? Nuts when it happens. Awkward position for all. At first glance you got shot by the cops. Tragic, whoop whoop the whole nine. Then it becomes apparent that you were falling off the ledge and wanted to go. Even more tragic. Everyone loved you. Then, the acceptance has to take place. Some can accept that you wanted to go and forced cops to do it. You couldn’t pull the trigger yourself. Ummm, okay pal. Not only did you wanna leave this life we all loved you in, but you couldn’t pull the plug yourself. Maybe im wrong, maybe you have a couple too many beers that night and youre girl is pissing you off, grades are bad, shits not looking up, and you start thinking dark, thoughts get rough, stop seeing the light, all of a sudden your goals seem so far away, the actuality of 10 years is replaced by the actuality of 3650 days, poor marks are gonna hurt you in the interview and youll never get the spot and never get the job, just like your parents have been telling you, or maybe you start thinking about how your dad never hugged you, or how your mom hasn’t cooked a dinner in years and your pretty sure she still drinks heavily and cant kick the habit and not only that but shes been drinking around and pouring out the misery of a bottle on your head since you were 8, whatever it might be, you start thinking it. The joyous drunk is replaced by the ravenous drunk wholl punch a hole in a wall or piss on some douchebags car most nights, but not this night, youre going a little darker. Shit starts really sucking. You start flipping out. Emotions pouring, words rambling, sense fleeting. You do hurtful things, think hurtful thoughts. That weight of the world we all carry right below the brain starts weighing heavily on you and its starting to hurt, you start thinking that maybe you cant hold it anymore and that’s when your grip starts to slippen. Doubt creeps in, and you know that Michael Jordan never doubted that his shot was going in. 62 Mets you gotta believe, if you don’t believe, its never gonna happen plain and simple. So things start weighing in. Keep screaming and now your heart has gone from a tipped over wine jug to the fucking hoover dam, it’s really raining out today folks. Now is when you do things that are hard to be forgotten. Fuck, you punched a hole in a car, your fist is bloody and people are wondering whats happening in the street out there. Youre fucked up worse then ever before, on 2 drinks and a nice dropping of the guillotine right on your dreams in your dreams. Not gonna be a good night. Police are called, youre still a madman out there, worse part is you know youre a menacing madman with no care for the future or your health or what happens next, and you still don’t give a fuck. They tell you to stop. Stop now? Cant stop. Gravity pulls you down, once you fall off the ledge the air doesn’t stop you, nah you keep falling and falling until you hit solid ground and at that point youre either dead or you didn’t fall to hard or you messed yourself up and youre gonna make it but you broke some things and theyre not gonna grow back as strong as before, and who the fuck knows how those parables turn out. Maybe you don’t hit ground either, you, a finite, keep on plummeting towards the infinite. So you start falling, solid ground appears below you but you crash right through it. Way too much speed, you got too much momentum and theres no breaks now. Maybe you broke em off yourself in a insane sadistic sealing of your own fate, or maybe they just fell off along the way when you hit a bump 20 minutes and 500 depressing thoughts ago. Crash through the first barrier, theyre only trampolines and lets be serious a trampoline is not gonna stop a runaway impala that’s burning on 19 years worth of working class child shattered dreams. You rip through it. To make the comparison even more relevant, at this point the man is involved. The fire is spreading throughout the building and the reds are stories below telling you to jump on their piece of rubber, except here theyre pointing real loaded guns at you and either you find those backstairs that aren’t burning and get out of the inferno of life, you jump and hit that fucking rubber bounce up like some kind of mickey mouse skit and everyone is laughing hugging and wrapping blankets around your shoulders, or you jump miss and instead of wrapping blankets around your shoulder they’ve got a stainless steel spatula bought at kmart scraping skull and brain parts off the ground and tossing your arm, which surprisingly snapped at your should quicker then a turkey wishbone, into a big black plastic bag which is headed right for the decomposer back at the station. Some born again nerd who found the inner confidence to spike his hair at forensic schooling is standing over your point of impact with a magnifying glass looking for teeth so they can make a dental matchup and positively confirm the identity of the guy who missed the trampoline. Cept in this situation the cops shot you.
