So Many People Kill Themselves

Some jump off buildings
some jump off bridges
some drown themselves
some shoot themselves
some hang themselves
some slice their wrists

so many people kill themselves
and some think they go to hell
as if they were deserving of
eternal damnation

I disagree with that
easy to condemn those driven
to such tragic extremes
especially those with chronic depression
and other mental health conditions

I say pray for them
in the afterlife wish them well
don’t condemn them to hell

I envision them in a healing place
filled with mercy and unconditional love
and I believe and trust that I am right
and that they are happy and well

A Sweet Blonde-Haired Woman Looking for True Love

She was a sweet blonde-haired woman
who met a dark-haired woman on a dating app
she felt they were a good match after the first meeting
agreed to see her again
after the second date she went missing
until her body was found near a ditch on a lone road
the dark-haired woman had an evil man lover
who killed the sweet blonde-haired woman
when she refused to be involved in his cult
and engage in a threesome with him and the woman
woe to women who have suffered similar fates
when they were only trying to find true love
