Analysis of Life Is More Precious- Than Death (Bussokusekika)
Edwin Ray Tanguma 1966 (Los Angeles)
Life Is More Precious- Than Death (Bussokusekika)
With time I have learned
Suicide is not the cure
For that which ails me
I suffer from MST
From when I was a Marine
Life is more precious- than death

About this poem
MST=Military Sexual Trauma…Life is much better with the passage of time…Slowly I have been coming to grips with the demons of my past…The hell is not as bad as it once was…And I am no longer obsessed with the thoughts of suicide…
