I believe were are given life to live to the fullest and when they drag me to the grave kicking and screaming you will hear me shouting "BOY what a hellva ride"
i have awaited it for a long time, so i will go willingly, peacefully and without regret. it's been a long time coming for me.
a long time coming... are you terminally ill? terminally sad or bored?
If Life as it exists for you now has brought you so low... time to find something brave daring noble purely foolish or any of these... you are a vital essence here and now, have you no criticisms that you might apply your life towards rectifying or even just shining some light upon?

...written for his dying father...
Do Not Go Gentle into That Good Night By Dylan Thomas
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.
And you, my father, there on the sad height,
Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray.
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
