Is it worth it

With all the problems of every day,
Should I end it the easy way.
What could be easier than a single bullet,
But what would be my reason to pull it.

Warmth and food those I have plenty,
Some are cold with stomachs empty.
A roof over my head that is there,
Others sleep on the street without a care.

Money I have and all the nice things,
Many have little yet joy it brings.
All the pressure at work I can't bear,
So many unemployed just sit and stare.

I have a good car to travel around,
Some use old shoes that they have found.
Where to holiday France or to Spain,
Others live surrounded by pain.

Do I buy a new video or a DVD,
Some poor souls can't even see.
My stocks have crashed bankrupt I fear,
But what about those who cannot hear.

So why should I end it all,
Someone will catch me if I fall.
Is life so really so bad as it seems,
Or have I found some dried up streams

So think about it get your life on track,
Make the first move then no turning back.
Look at your life be thankful for what you've got,
For there are many others who don't have a lot.
