Self Destructo

self destruction
rampant
alumni
live in coffins
or as ashes
spread across the globe
I have looked in their eyes
as the living
death films over
everything they see
no fortune teller
or special gift
only the obvious reality
of how people
will kill themselves
over and over again
until the job is finished
does it matter?
when an auto accident
choking on dinner
or allergic reaction
can do the job just as easily
control
must count for something
to watch oneself
wither
decay
and eventually die
pain
to live as an outlaw
means pain
suffering
revealing wisdom
most people choose to ignore
when under the realm
of cultural comforts
take those away
an there is just the self
the mirror
and realization
that mortality
is more than a word
its the final word
