Altruistic Requiems

Well I’m thinking of writing a story - But the endings no good as you’ll see
Day and night on this question I’m pondering - Should I opt for somber or obscene?
This old tale of my life’s not exciting - Hardly something you’d put on the screens
But I know with the right choice of sending - My message could make the whole scene!

Thinking so hard, I’ve been wrecking my brain - How do I get it across that I’m not just insane?
Searching! Searching! (Come one come all and let’s hear from the choir now)

Jump from a building? (Disgracefully land!) Horribly overdose? (Hardly a man!)
Blow my own brains out? (God, what a mess) Walk into traffic? (It’s selfish at best)

Slowly, I’ll strive for perfection in dying - Like a pupae erupting from me
As the moth ventures forth from a larva - I’m an artist, here’s my masterpiece
How the masses will call me a hero - And the heavens shall weep at my name
Just as Jesus could walk on the waters - So shall I be reborn through my fame

Frozen in awe at my own majesty - Even God couldn’t teach me such humility!
Sainthood suits me! (Show some restraint,please no flash photography)

Red razor wrists? (it’s boring and bland) Columbian necktie? (Requires 4 hands!)
Hang from the ceiling? (We’ve seen it before) Strapped to a bomb? (pieces galore)

Why can’t I think up an end to my plight? It’s one for the ages, it must be just right!

Come on and think - Why is this eluding me?
Wait, hold your drinks! Find your seats cuz it’s time for a show!
You applaud as I take my stage before you all - Curtains all fall, they’re enrapt and here we go!

Tension is, rising up - every seat in here is filled
with a flourish, I toss a lone rose to the crowd - holding of, every breath
All men and women the same - The silence is palpable as gasoline turns to flame!

With a cry I’m set alight - To the screams of their delight
Altruistic till the end - Purified of every sin
When at last I collapse (Flesh is boiling oh so fast)
This my final requiem - So never shall I rise again
Oh! Such a lovely way to die........
