A man falls to his death
A man falls to his death and dies.
The forensic scientists examine the question;
“was he push / or did he jump?”
The answer they conclude; “he jumped.”
And yet sociologist and people with a concern nature ask;
Did he feel ‘valued’ by his society?
Was his troubles ‘ignored’ by his society?
Was he even ‘rejected’ by his society?
A man falls to his death and the official conclusion is; “that he jumped,”
Yet others still go on questions metaphorically;
was he really pushed?
