Abdul Malik Mandani Poet Villanelle

Do Not Go Raging Into That Good Night

Do not go raging into that good night
Old age should be gentle at close of day,
Hush, hush against the dying of the light.

Unwise though at their end claim light is right
And they expect that the divine grace may,
Do not go raging into that good night.

Gentlemen in their just wisdom so bright
Act like they got to live no other way,
Hush, hush against the dying of the light.

Sinners in their gross transgression so blight
and die beneath their spiritual sway,
Do not go raging into that good night.

Somber men left to mourn the endless night
Their Souls wander astray when they should pray,
Hush, hush against the dying of the light.

And you, my father, give up your sad plight
Bless me with your contented smile, I say
Do not go raging into that good night
Hush, hush against the dying of the light.


~(In Response to:
Dylan Thomas "Do Not Go Gentle into That Good Night.")
