Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night
I'm living a down and out life It's like ECG, when you are at the peak You will fall to the bottom I'm like a filament lamp, very shiny But do not go gentle into that good night Old age should burn and rave At close of the day, rage Rage against the dying of the light Though wise men at their end...

Premium Member Do Not Go Down There
No, no, I tell you, no Do not go down there, Turn back from the door Step away from the stair I cannot tell you, I can't The secrets and the lies, Because... it's too... dreadful When a pretty thing dies Yes, she was a pretty thing But, should you see her now, All gone and gray and sunken O, I could not tell...

Premium Member Do not go gentle into the totalitarian night
Do not go gentle into that totalitarian night They lured you in with the promise of a new day Rage against their deception, and for freedom's light From a stagnant pool, you jumped into a river of no return They said the new would rise, the old could burn Swim against their current, rage against their tide Face the mistake you...

Premium Member Her Hair Does Not Go Along With Her Look
Her hair is all that with bubbly bouncy curls. But they do not bounce on this little child, Meryls. She has somber gray eyes that see clear enough. She might have been through traumatic stuff. I watch her closely, wondering what she might do. If I break out in a happy song or a cutesy soft shoe. Her hair does not...

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...

Let Him Not Go
Down the street After passing three dogs and a gunman A few meters beyond the electric fence If the spy cam is clear But there is a council of desperate urchins A special crusade, they have, these beggars They have looked up to Nyasaye Higher than pious men can see Their eyes have gone up To the gates of heaven The rich man who...

Premium Member Not Yet Ready - After Dylan Thomas's Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night
Don’t greet death gently. Those dreary and greyed, stay, hold, ignore that feral, frail, reality. Ignore gainsayers that say those eternal days of flotage on the edge of the great end, dearly holding on, are beyond their strength. Death is the great design for those that forgat the indignity of being. Linger on longer, oh ghost. Rage, rage against the dying of...

Premium Member I Would Not Go Easily
The Grim Reaper gave up So he sent his most fierce three Their goal was simple To scare the bejeezus out of me I am hardheaded, and stubborn. I was not about to go easily. They learned the hard way These so called fierce three Sure, Reaper, send them when I am asleep. Lying here, innocently, alone and unprotected. I am not one to wail,...

Do Not Go In the Wood
Do not go in the wood, Do not go when it's night, Don't you know it's not good, Don't you know it's not right! Don't you know someone's there, Someone howls at the moon, Don't you care? Do you care? Do not leave cozy room For the sake of the beast, Take a sit, take a break, Do not pity at least, Don't be kind...
