Suicide in the Trenches


I knew a simple soldier boy
Who grinned at life in empty joy,
Slept soundly through the lonesome dark,
And whistled early with the lark.

In winter trenches, cowed and glum,
With crumps and lice and lack of rum,
He put a bullet through his brain.
No one spoke of him again.

You smug-faced crowds with kindling eye
Who cheer when soldier lads march by,
Sneak home and pray you'll never know
The hell where youth and laughter go.

Sorry to hear about your friend. Unfortunately I know a few people I'm concerned about with the current craziness going on.

thats a great point. all of the current affairs and the downstream effects of it may be heightening an already tragic issue
Yeah, it's unfortunate that for a lot of people most of the coping strategies on the list you posted is a no go, couple that with the heightened stress of Covid and all the issues that brings in addition to the protests and riots and we could be in a lot of trouble.

I'm sorry to hear about your friend, always terrible to see people lose to their demons.
