Suicide isn’t painless, especially for veterans


Powerful and needed words shared.

Anyone who has ever seen the hit TV show M*A*S*H is familiar with the opening theme, a song titled, Suicide Is Painless. Did you know that there are lyrics to that song?

Through early morning fog I see,
Visions of the things to be,
The pains that are withheld for me,
I realize and I can see.

That suicide is painless,
It brings on many changes,
And I can take or leave it
If I please.

The game of life is hard to play,
I'm gonna lose it anyway,
The losing card I'll someday lay,
So this is all I have to say.

Suicide is painless,
It brings on many changes,
And I can take or leave it
If I please.

The sword of time will pierce our skin,
It doesn't hurt when it begins,
But as it works its way on in,
The pain grows stronger, watch it grin.
