From mounting debts that pushed them off the edge
Through affairs that drove an irreparable wedge,
To the grieving for whom relief was a far fetch,
They chose the untrodden path of no return.
While somewhere a wife grieved for her beloved
Elsewhere a lover regretted hasty words unapproved.
And yet another father repented over love unshowered,
For they had lost a loved one to a preventable illness.
Tender care and concern was what they needed
To nudge the fallen spirits that could be reignited
A warm kindling fire of support was all they pleaded,
To awaken the sanguine Phoenix from their ashes.
To save one from the clutches of despair,
Is akin to saving a drowning man at sea.
By giving wings to a wounded man's dream,
Be that social pillar that shall heal and repair.
Suicide is not the answer.
