Suicide Is Hard To Stop Poem by James McLain

We are here
and you are there
deep water
I have crossed and
it has left me scared.
Soon they will come
but this
you know the words
they've spoken loud and clear.
We have heard and
trust is trusting them
to save your lives.
A circle
is not round if your
left out.
And love well it can't
come
if hate is all there is
that were about.
Suicide
is hard to stop when
in America
we won't even try.
Until we learn to
understand
that death to one is
death to all
then death it will prevail.
