SUICIDE

Jude Chukwuemeka Muoneke


Notice of absence from Jude Chukwuemeka Muoneke
I will surely get back to you when I come online.

 

People are going through a lot,
And a lot is going through them,
Hunger and starvation live in the streets,
Skirts and trousers are frustrated.

Death flies on many roofs,
Projecting suicide, 
Hanging, his channel of transition,
He ended it, out of frustration.

Will his soul rest in peace?
He has gone home in piece, 
Far from the high cost of living,
To a place of peaceful torment.

Though we tarry in suffering,
But suicide is not an option,
Stay strong, never give up,
Faith keeps us hopeful.

Rest in peace, son of man from Jos.

  • Comment from author about the poem: This poem talks about death. Many people in Nigeria out of depression, suffering, pains and unrealized visions, passion and aspirations end up committing suicide to end their misery.

    the message you convey in your poem is of great importance! Life is truly worth living but some people suffer a lot !

  • Qurrathul Ain

    This kind of awareness is vital, especially during these times, thank you for sharing. We can see people so young giving up their lives over something unimportant compared to their own life and how much more they could've seen in it. We should never give in. Praying for the welfare and comfortable lives for all the people around the world.

    Dare I say it?
    Who is to blame?
    Unrealistic expectations could be?-
    The villain of the crime.
    Although we have no starvation down here, suicide is high.
    I have personally had five friends go that way, I believe all thought they were failures. Which was a lie.
    If they knew the truth they could survive.
    Bless your brothers.
