Gedicht: 30 Seconds Alive

Everybody's promises were just illusions
so this man jumped of a bridge today.
While all the judges jump to their conclusions
nobody knows what he really had to say.

A woman was fired and she went insane.
She took her husband's 9mm and fired the gun,
the bullet went straight through her brain.
Another countdown of 30 seconds has begun.

30 seconds alive.
Don't worry 'bout me, I'll survive.
I am here to tell you about
the next 30 seconds that are running out.

With a toaster in the bath or an O.D.
With a gun, rope or knife
The question is where will you be
when time takes another life.

When your heart is broken by your lover.
When someone takes your dignity and pride.
Is 30 seconds enough for you to recover
or are you the next person to commit suicide.

Another 30 seconds alive.
Don't worry 'bout me, I'll survive.
I am here to tell you about
the next 30 seconds that are running out.
