We're all dying--
Today, tomorrow, eternally.
A series of chemical reactions to become inert.
Our handcrafted universes dispelled.
Should we keep living--
today, tomorrow, with an end in sight.
Don't walk blindly into oblivion.
Choose fight, not flight.

“I hold a beast, an angel, and a madman in me, and my enquiry is as to their working, and my problem is their subjugation and victory, down throw and upheaval, and my effort is their self-expression.” - #DylanThomas (died: 9 November 1953)

#Remembrance:
“They shall have stars at elbow and foot;
Though they go mad they shall be sane,
Though they sink through the sea they shall rise again;
Though lovers be lost love shall not;
And death shall have no dominion.”

Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rage 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.
