Rushing To End Lives
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
People are rushing to end their own lives.
With a deceiving themselves.
And denying the failure of living lies.
Prioritized with a maximizing to address,
A keeping up of appearances.
To satisfy,
A qualifying social acceptance.
Wanted to meet the scrutiny of approval.
