Rage against the dying of the light




                                            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.

The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner



Running's always been a big thing in our family, especially running away from the police. It's hard to understand. All I know is that you've got to run, run without knowing why, through fields and woods, and the winning post's no end, even though barmy crowds might be cheering theirsens daft. That's what the loneliness of the long-distance runner feels like.

Question the process: Mother of Millions





"Name me truth you name me hope"
I'm not in use
A threat that I behold
If only I'd make the waves

"Name me guide you name me order"
Turn around
You mock my trust
Each time I judge the life to come

Why do I keep falling for this
I am like an open book thrown in the fireplace

Why do people settle for this
Controlling with a dice and living in disgrace

Why
Do I keep falling for this
I am like an open book thrown in the fireplace

Why
Do people settle for this
Controlling with a dice and living in disgrace
