Paul Bell

Words On The Toilet Door

The words on the toilet door

Travellers of the world

Leaving their mark

All amusing, till

Six words jumped out

WAS IT YOUR LIFE TO LOSE

What was he inferring too

Couldn’t have been himself

No, that wouldn’t make sense

Suicide, was it a selfish act of suicide

A surgeon, the impossible operation

Men going to war

Is he asking the generals

But surely you would direct that question to the politicians

What the hell does he mean

Is he asking the ultimate question

The meaning of life

Is he questioning God

The giver of life

The taker away

Who knows

WAS IT YOUR LIFE TO LOSE
