Despair

Despair
Why does someone tie a noose around the neck
Why the fatal step
The lure of hills
The pull of the ocean
The last gasp of the air
Why the last conscious movement of a finger
Why push down another peg
Why the last whiff
Of something colourless and odourless
Why the slash on the wrists
Why the clatter of pills
The poor have gory ways
Noxious fluids
Clattering rails
A strike of a match followed by piercing wails
The poor have no fear
The rich have the right gear
Despair failed Economics and got a D- in Sociology
