CCTV,
she waves goodbye,
she walks down the street,
and she finds a crowd of people and prepares to die,
and she doesn't blink an eye,
and she gets her gun and blows her brains out,
and it's a modern-day tragedy,
and in society,
it happens far too often,
and sadly, it is nothing new to society,
and it could happen to us all,
because of the pressures of the times,
and because of the stresses of modern life,
and here she lays,
a depressed woman who had no hope at all,
a woman crushed in the crucible of life,
and sadly, sadly, she was never anyone’s wife,
and she was never truly happy at all,
and she did drugs and pills, and drank,
but that was never enough to fix anything,
and now it is over, there she lays in a body bag,
another statistic, another body on the pavement,
a woman who took her own life in front of onlookers,
onlookers including women and men, children,
and babies who saw her put the gun to her head,
and who saw her pull the trigger,
onlookers who screamed as she blew her brains out,
and who were traumatised for life as they watched her fall.
