Do Not Go Gentle Into Their Gaslight

It's winter solstice and all the Celtic that is me wants to welcome the return of the light.

First I need to acknowledge all the dark that makes it harder. 

So I rewrote the beautiful words of another person of Irish decent; Dylan Thomas.

--------- --------- --------- ---------

Do not go gentle into their gaslight


Democracy should burn and rave at close of day;


Rage, rage against their dimming of the light.


There are no wise ones to know that dark is right


Because their words spin and lie and betray


Do not go gentle into their gaslight.


The wave of un-good men hiding in plain sight


Whose deeds cause crying and kill every green bay


Rage, rage against their dimming of the light.


Mean men who incite others to hate and fight,


And distract anyone who sees it is their way,


Do not go gentle into their gaslight.


Greedy men hoarding money, holding tight,


Power hungry and going to make you pay


Rage, rage against their dimming of the light.


And you, failed America, there on the sad height,


Must cry fierce tears for what was done yesterday.


Do not go gentle into their gaslight.


Rage, rage against their dimming of the light.

Now I can move on.
