Historical mass suicides
During the late 2nd century BC, the Teutons are recorded as marching south through Gaul along with their neighbors, the Cimbri, and attacking Roman Italy. After several victories for the invading armies, the Cimbri and Teutones were then defeated by Gaius Marius in 102 BC at the Battle of Aquae Sextiae (near present-day Aix-en-Provence). Their King, Teutobod, was taken in irons. The captured women committed mass suicide, which passed into Roman legends of Germanic heroism: by the conditions of the surrender three hundred of their married women were to be handed over to the Romans. When the Teuton matrons heard of this stipulation, they first begged the consul that they might be set apart to minister in the temples of Ceres and Venus; then, when they failed to obtain their request and were removed by the lictors, they slew their children and next morning were all found dead in each other's arms having strangled themselves in the night.
In this world of morality and righteousness There are more than enough stones to be cast Pure birthed from the polluted parasites of sysematic acidity What has been reaped, I shall not sow I will uproot with impunity Again and again many will forget the ignorance Of the walking dead Buried amongst serdiment and regret One would search in vain for a half way point in this decision There is no halfway drug free conviction This poison's addiction is a global self-genocide And the apathy it breeds is the mass suicide For the choices made For the countless laid to waste For all the pushers and addicts I've seen too much I've had it This poison's addiction is a self genocide And this apathy is the mass suicide
