Last Words...
 

Some of these are amazing.

I wonder what mine will be. You guy's have any ideas of what you'd like to say?

Re: Last Words...
 

I read those....and I made a poem out of some of the quotes.


Now, my question is, can I claim this poem as original? Because yes, it is compiled all of last words of people, but I arranged into my own creation. Is there some loophole here?


Anyways, here it is:


-----Last Words-----May 22nd/05

I know you have come to kill me,
Shoot coward, you are only going to kill a man,
You're trying to keep me alive as an old curiosity,
but I'm done, I'm finished, I'm going to die,
Good people are always so sure they're right,
You can be a king or a street sweeper,
but everyone dances with the Grim Reaper,
And so I leave this world, where the heart must either break or turn to lead,
I feel certain that I'm going mad again,
I feel we can't go through another of those terrible times,
And I shan't recover this, I begin to hear voices,
Go on, get out,
last words are for fools who haven't said enough.

Re: Last Words...

A tout le monde
A tout mes amis
Je vous aime
Je dois partir
These are the last words
I'll ever speak
And they'll set me free

Re: Last Words...
 

Sitting here in Avalon, looking at the pouring rain
Summertime has come and gone and everybody's home again
Closing down for the season, I found the last of the souvenirs
I can still taste the wedding cake and it's sweet after all these years

These are the last words I have to say
That's why this took so long to write
There will be other words some other day
But that's the story of my life

There's comfort in my coffee cup and apples in the early fall
They're pulling all the moorings up and gathering at the Legion Hall
They swept away all the streamers after the Labor Day parade
Nothing left for a dream now, only one final serenade

And these are the last words I have to say
Before another age goes by
With all those other songs I'll have to play
But that's the story of my life

And it's so clear standing here where I am
Ain't that what justice is for?
Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn anymore

Stack the chairs on the table tops
Hang the sheets on the chandeliers
It slows down but it never stops
Ain't it sweet after all these years

And these are the last words I have to say
It's always hard to say goodbye
But now it's time to put this book away
Ain't that the story of my life
