Inquest

Pertaining to a death, to a suicide,
Mortem Sibi Consciscere,
The question unasked is:
Why? We can skate over:
How, when, where, who.
But not why. 
Extremum vitae spiritum edere
We all must give up the ghost
Sooner or later, bur rarely
At a date of our own choosing.
So, why bring that date
Forward? Why does the world,
With all that getting & spending,
Revolt us so much that we end it
There & then? Angerona — 
Goddess of anguish, hunts us down,
Turns our self against our self,
& sets us on the rocky road to suicide.
