Do not go gentle into that good night
by Dylan Thomas
Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
Because their words had forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright
Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,
And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight
Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
And you, my father, there on the sad height,
Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray.
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
If it requires the last breath of my young life, so be it.
One of my favorites. Thanks
As Rodney Dangerfield said of the poem. “Don’t take any sh*t from anybody”
Back to School was one of his best !
Let it die quickly, not slowly. We have been a frog slowly cooking whereas if the heat was turned up quick we would have reacted and saved ourselves.
Lets go where we can find some kindling for a new fire. How about http://christianexodus.org/ Except we will have to have a plan on how to handle an always hedonistic media. Make it a pluralistic media?
Hey steve0, you kinda lost me there. What’s a pluralistic media?
