    The poem "A Man Falls To His Death" by Filipino poet Cirilo Bautista describes the suicide of a man. It illustrates his actions from standing on a building rooftop (Point A) to jumping off and falling through the air, increasing in speed, until hitting the ground (Point B) and dying from the impact. No one witnessed his leap. The poem explores themes of desperation, emptiness, and being at one's limit. It uses imagery and physics concepts to vividly depict each stage of the man's fall. The poem reflects on the darkness in life and offers the perspective that instead of suicide, one should try alternative ways of turning their life around through hard work as others have done

    A Man Falls To His Death

    Critical Interpretation

    The poem "A Man Falls To His Death" is written by Cirilo Bautista. Cirilo Bautista is a Filipino artist born july

    9 1941. He wrote poet, fictions and nonfictions critics and more. The poem seems reflects to the author for having or

    done something that almost leads him to the point of ending and tells or wrote a story or poem of a dark side of life,

    being inadequate, sad, depressed, hopeless, helpless, full of disappointments and many other more. As you read

    the first line of the poem, you have been already told of the dark side even in the title, it says that "Blood is nothing.

    Space is all. Is." It says that the man on the poem is Lost and desperate, nothing left, empty. Afterwards It is already

    told that the man committed suicide by jumping, it is also illustrated with point a and b. It says how cold he feels

    above the earth level where he sees his shadow. As his over into the limit and overflowing emptiness as feeling cold

    and lost in desperation having a fault, not even known to be meant or not to displeasing the superior. Being on the

    top of the building (the point A) and having no other options he threw himself to the air , falling in mid air having

    increase of speed and force until it comes what should happen. He hits the ending point of the darkness, the ground

    (the Point B) having its body shocked from the impact, Dislocated and crushed bones together with its flesh and skin.

    No one ever noticed the suicide incident as the man leaps, neither saw or seen. After the tragic event It is not been

    told and nobody knows next, only that "The Blank and Blank Co., Inc., regrets to announce that...." is said. They

    would barely regret to announce that because the company incorporated is involved to the event suicide of the man,

    their used to be employee. The Company might or will have sanctions, fine to pay for and other more law to accuse

    the company. The poem "A Man Falls To His Death" uses physics, illustration, variables and deep words as well,

    explaining each and every detail of the poem. It describes the feeling of the author as Cirilo Bautista takes it deeper

    and deeper, of course it has relation to its life. As you may reflect to the poem, not taking the negative side, well you

    can only read such negativity but it has this bright side of realization, You see what is the point of committing suicide

    after all, life is fun even having allot of dept, you just have to work hard and turn in good alternative ways. There are

    too many reflective lives that passed this kind of event by turning its way and taking the right and alternative way.

    This is very factual and famous story of Mr. Colonel Harland David Sanders the founder of the KFC as he lose

    everything, He broke his leg, been in too many jobs, even left behind by his family. He is at the point of darkness, the

    bitter end. He had this realizations and cope up with his cooking skills and started with the chicken. After all the

    hardships and turn to the alternative way he had his life so good. This is just one of the good and the best examples,

    but there are these people that really didn't worked out as the story of the famous gun man at resorts world manila,

    Mr. Jessie Carlos. the tragic ending of his life, He leads his life into something that he regrets fully and nothing more

    to be. His actions as a gambler that makes him lost everything. You must think in every act you get because it has its

    own bounce to you, may be bad or good. People already know what is right and wrong but it all has its different

    environment and personalities. There are weak and some were strong, but still you have a very powerful mind on to

    decide and turn alternative ways.
