Was it a homicide or a suicide

Premeditated,

Planned,

Calculated,

Predetermined….

Was it a homicide or a suicide?

Full proof,

Flawless,

Infallible,

Fail-safe….

Was it a homicide or a suicide?

Unexpected,

Unanticipated,

All of the sudden,

Out of the blue…

Was it a homicide or a suicide?

And the only evidence left is always the same,

A life filled with happiness, joy, pain, sorrow, love and hate,

A life filled with betrayal, loyalty, heartache, lies, pride and kindness,

A life filled when a never-ending search for peace...

A life truly worth living,

Violently ripped away by life’s cruel reality!

All things will pass away sooner or later.

And the culprit, you ask?!

Well I’m sure you’ve guessed it by now,

A responsibility given to us by life itself,

“The responsibility to live.”

And we take this responsibility,

All too aware of the consequences,

"Time" will run its course,

And “Age” will place a close second.

And then we will all come to that unavoidable question once again,

Was it a homicide or a suicide?
