I'm not really sure if this is in the right category- if it isn't just tell me.
Why does our life have to follow this path,
Where the silent scream, can never be heard,
The masters of mind have right to just laugh,
Because they are salvation in this world,
A gaping blind alley stands at our feet,
We just “do” and don’t think for a moment,
It is only our own regret we’ll meet,
When we think how this time has been miss-spent,
Got freedom of thought- might as well use it,
We just need to set all our great minds free,
At peace forever; if we should choose it,
Or there’ll be a price, you will pay the fee,
If you want to be happy whilst your here,
Then you should think, am I how I appear?

Okay. I like this, but there are a few things that are bothering me.

The commas at the end of every line and the capitalization at every beginning: You don't have to put a comma at the end of every line. It breaks up the phrases, severing the smoothness of the poem. A poem is simply a pairing of rhyming sentences. And the capitalization is unnecessary. Writing poems is like writing a regular paragraph; use caps and punctuation only where needed.

Here, look at it this way; would you write a paragraph like this:

Personally, I don't think so.

Other than that, I do like the poem; it makes you think. :wink: Keep writing!

Hi, Loveless here!

This was a nice poem; it sent out a really good, thoughtful message. The tone of it was set very nicely, well, I think it was. It had a nice flow, it was an easy read. It actually did make you think; one of those pondering poems. Well, that's about it!

Big kiss, class dismissed!

Always remember that you’re unique. Just like everyone else.

Hi Patatopie! Another of your nonsensical poems I see. One big nit pick. What is it about? You didn't portray what you were talking about very well. A part from that, it is a great poem. You have great language in it though some seems a little forced.
On the whole 6 out of 10.
