Resume
Razors pain you;
Rivers are damp;
Acids stain you;
And drugs cause cramp;
Guns aren't lawful;
Nooses give;
Gas smells awful;
You might as well live.
Dorothy Parker
What I love about Dorothy Parker's poem is that it brings the
reality of suicideto the forefront without glossing over nor
romanticizing its details. Plus, after reading it, even the most
suicidal, may want to rethink their plans & avoid any hazardous
consequences to their healths if they may live through it (or
suffer until death).
