Invictus

Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the Pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.


In the fell clutch of circumstance

I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.


Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds and shall find me unafraid.


It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll
I am the master of my fate:

I am the captain of my soul.


- "Invictus" is a short poem by the English poet William Ernest Henley. The title is Latin for "invincible." It was first published in 1875.

Saturday

All the lonely people

Mustached bearded teary eyed
For many days, months and years
The Father Mackenzie's

Haggard shrunken no more tears left
For many days,months and years
The Eleanor Rigby's

All the lonely people, where do they all come from?
