'Tis The Gentle Of This Knight A'Calling

 

 

'Tis The Gentle Of This Knight A'Calling

 

 

 

Rage, rage against the dying of the light

The deus ex machina in the eye of natural sight

The center of the storm in a world of unusual fright:

Humanity attaining the eternal  promise of freedom

 

Freedom.  Fly!

 

Quoting scripture

Ephemeral picture

Of potent redemption…  Freedom fly

Like dust from the fairy’s stick,

Her shtick the spiel that legends are made of

And unicorns with gossamer wings

Thrive for:  liberty,  liberation, emancipation

From the cold of woman’s wrath,

From the bold of hurricane’s fury

From the fold of cowards chastised grasp…

 

Freedom.  Fly!

 

Rage, rage against the plight of the dying:

The imperial woe…  The mighty of the maimed lion

Is naught without The Master’s steady gentle plying

Of sensational touch (supple, subtle like satin)

 

Healing.  Freedom.  Fly!

‘Tis the gentle of this knight  a’ calling.
