Death

Death is bad
No one wants to die
But death doesn't know
How to kill
Yet death is inevitable
But I dont fear death
If I live the right life,
Then I will not be
Afraid to die
My legacy will live
After me for a hundred years.

Insanity

A dirty man
Is next to a
Madman
Mechanics will
Not let us know
Who is mad
But insanity
Does'nt end here
If I cannot
contain my temper
Then I need to see
A doctor, same doctor
An insane man
Will see.
It all boils down
To the mind

Die Lucifer

Die Lucifer die
Your days on earth are ended
My people are now educated
You deceive, you lie
You propel my people to do evil
Against their own people.
But now we know, now we say
Go the other way;
No good ever come from your way.

Unwritten

I have also had my
Poems unwritten.
Like a friend whom
So much I admire.
Had in her
A burning desire.
A love unforseen
For many yet
unseen.
Now my friend
Had her poems
written.
But still I know
more
Her thoughts
Are yet unwritten.

Like Yesterday

It's three years now since you left
But I still think of you like yesterday
My love of past days
They still want me like yesterday;
But in my heart today
It is you I see in my dreams,
With you I want to
Spend the rest of my days.

Not Afraid

I'm not afraid to die
All these sufferings;
plagues, diseases
are killing me inside
But I'm not afraid
.

And so, death, being
The harvest of man
For sins of a thousand years
And all these sufferings,
Not enough to atone
For my sins?

Mr. Fred

I loved mr. Fred
He was my friend
But was taken from me
Death took him from me
I dont have anymore to say
The poem ends.
There is nothing left to say
I loved my friend
His name was mr. Fred
He went away from me
How I wished him to stay.

A girl

A girl
Bathing in hell
Longed for her hair
I asked her name
Not a sound she made
Not a word she said.
Then I knew the girl was dead
Heaven she didn't made,
Hell her fate.
Then she left my head,
(She left my dream) ,
She's not my fate.

Wrong Song

They sing for sun
The ones who have gone before
Their song must be so wrong
And to us they bring hurt.
.
Mother, at heaven's gate
Tell this to father for my sake
His world is ruled by hate
Where is the love from
which our world was made?

His Poems are so Sad

His poems are very sad
That's because they come
Right from his heart.
.
His lines are very short,
And yet they can't all be wrong.
.
Good God, guess what I saw
How I wished Lucifer was never born,
Maybe man would be happy
And live in love.
