Ere the birth of my life, if I wished it or no
No question was asked me--it could not be so !

A powerful poem with a meaningful message. Well crafted and expressed.
A poem that conveys the importance of life in an inquisitive manner
Didactic in every sense. Never left same after going through this.
Highly recommendable poem for avoiding such destruction oneself his own life called suicide.
i am not angry.. I am always here.. Thank you god. No guilt. I am sorry.. I love you. I am here.. You gave me so much.. I thank you with my heart.
Human being is so treacherous what we get tries to return making it useless, At a stretch one who adopt the suicide they think useless the gift of life and think it is forcefully given and hence they want a wishful return making it useless
Two lines I think emerge violently from the whole writing for the SUICIDER which I consider as the manifesto to take the decision of committing OR not-committing suicide: 1] Think first, what you ARE! Call to mind what you WERE! 2] Then die-if die you dare! After all suicide is the last weapon to confront the intense adversity for a non-compromising personality. The Poem is a brave work to give suicide an institutional recognition. Nice put from the old master. Pranab k chakraborty

Coleridge pointed out: DO NOT COMMIT SUICIDE in the line: Then die-if die you dare and the argument of the creator there interfered..... as it says: Think first because: I gave you innocence, I gave you hope, Gave health, and genius, and an ample scope, Return you me guilt, lethargy, despair? +++++(think twice if you really wanna hurt me, says nature [or maybe nature represents GOD])
Beautiful poem. Congrats with the Classic Poem Of The Day
