Departure Poem by Samael Wolf

Life
Should it end with a bang
or a whimper?

to go quietly into the night
or be dragged out kicking
and screaming, , ,

To die with eastern honor
seppuku with blade in hand

or slowly waste away
with reminders of who you
once were all around

One shotgun blast
as Hemingway did
or with a pistol

in a quiet forest glen
like Wendy O did.
There are many choices

as to how it could all end
There is no shame
in taking the ultimate

control of what one owns
their life.
