    Poem Commentary

    May, 17th 2012. In a small northern Wisconsin town a man lost all hope. At his own hand he also lost his life.

    Last Call

    Sadness and hopelessness gathered his conciousness
    deep within a dark cold place
    He sat with his fear and stared deep into a mirror
    but couldn't recognize his own face

    He was divorced and alone, loosing his business and home
    his only escape was his gun
    He felt it was the end, but looked down at his friend
    he first had to call someone

    He placed a three digit call and spoke to the law
    while his head was in a dark thick fog
    He said he did his best and was sorry for the mess
    and please take care of his dog

    They tried to talk him down but with no one around
    there was nothing more he could take
    No one knows why he felt he had to die
    but he chose to make his worst mistake

    Well we are only human and sometimes the Devil gets the best of us and we ignore all the Love we have from Jesus.. Hopefully hes in a better place now, free from pain and sorrow... Sad but True..

    This one is really fantastic! It puts you in the mind of the man. 10/10

    The true philosopher and the true poet are one, and a beauty, which is truth, and a truth, which is beauty, is the aim of both.
