Rage, Rage, againt the dying of the light - one of the poems that SAY something

this quote from dylan is certainly evocative of these times
indeed, the dying of the light is a phenomenon very special to the philippines
and particular in one government institution i shall call  Estres

well, in Estres, morale is at an all-time low, the light in the employees' eyes are dying
and well, their leader does not give a sh*t  nor a f*ck

AND well, it seems that the condition of the world is mostly like this -
i am glad that there are organizations that DO care, and DO give a da*n


For your convenience, here's the poem


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.
