What I Wish He�d Say
By MaskedPoet
I know everything about you
The things you will and will not do
I know how confused you feel right now
Like there is no left or right or up and down
I know about your short temper, and even the things you will and won�t eat
Like the way you used to get a subway and take off all the meat
I know your first steps, your first laugh
Hell, I even know the first time you passed gas
I know you have the potential to make straight A�s in school
And how you think smoking weed isn�t all that cool
I know about your desire to write and your fascination with computers
No I�m not a stalker, or anything like that
I�m simply someone who wishes he could have the last 20 years back
I�m someone who should have been in your life more often
If I had, we�d both be much happier
But don�t take after me, don�t make the same mistakes I made
Read this poem over and over and promise yourself this day
You WILL be in your son�s life each and every day

Free
By MaskedPoet
What does it mean when one says `I want to be free`?
Does it mean they wanna fly like the birds and bees
Not being held down by the chains of limitation
Soaring high without hesitation
Or do they want to die, leaving everyone behind
Seperating themselves from the corruption of mankind
Not wanting to fight in an unnecessary war
Not wanting to live in a world of constant fear
To be free is simply the ability to act without constriction
Hopefully that line will cause a thought infestation....
...In the minds of those who deny freedom
Its so simple to see
People everywhere just want to be free

The Night`s Renaissance
By MaskedPoet
Don`t run from me
Don`t hate me
I have become
What you made me
You rape me
And abuse me
Ontop of all that
You turn around and use me
You say I am lazy,
And don`t want to work
But can you blame me
I can still feel the hurt
You say I am violent
But no more than you
Or have you forgotten the 40s 50s and 60s
And the things you`d do?
You told me to go back home
The distant land of Africa
You know, the place where I belong
Sweat, blood, and tears
My sacrifice for this land
This is my home now
Don`t you understand?
I bet its awkward to see me this way
Night versus Night
Instead of Night versus Day
I won`t be this way forever
I WILL rise
My hand out my coffin
Reaching for the skies
Then you`ll really be surprised
And have something to fear
My words will right through the night
Just like Paul Rivere

The End
MaskedPoet
Another night has come
Another day has gone
No where to run
No place like home
Knowing the inevitable is at hand
There's nothing that can be done
For time misused and abused
There is no refund
Do what you want
Live as you would your last day
Don't think about consequences now
There is no time left to pray
Death is here now
So say your goodbyes
Your story is ending
It's time for your demise
No mother, no sister
No dog, no best friends
All that is there is you
Your life has reached the end

Last Breath
By Lost Poet
Pow..you�re shot
You�re laying on the ground
You lie there and think
As the world goes round
Your life flashes before you
You know you�re about to die
Do you just lie there and think
Or because of the pain, do you cry
A light flashes before you
Time is almost gone
As the blood flows
From your body, you wonder
Where did I go wrong
You look up to see the crowd
Starring
Then you hear the sound
Of the police sirens blaring
You�re getting close to the end
Now you�re wondering where it all began
You look once more up the sky and wonder
Is it too late to be saved
The answer, you�ll never know
Because you�re on your way to the grave
Your sight is turning black
You�re slipping into death
But before you do
What will you say with your last breath
