I've written about this before. The message at that time was: when you're old enough - like me - there is plenty of experience to draw on. If you're young, you might just take advantage of other's experiences. You could choose articles from the newspapers or TV reports and go from there.
I found an excellent poem recently. It is called "Song for Bridgend" and refers to the suicide series among young people in Wales. A grand theme, and a grand text. And a grand way of getting ideas for new songs.
