"AND DEATH SHALL HAVE NO DOMINION"

And death shall have no dominion.
Dead men naked they shall be one
With the man in the wind and the west moon;
When their bones are picked clean and the clean bones gone,
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.

And death shall have no dominion.
Under the windings of the sea
They lying long shall not die windily;
Twisting on racks when sinews give way,
Strapped to a wheel, yet they shall not break;
Faith in their hands shall snap in two,
And the unicorn evils run them through;
Split all ends up they shan't crack;
And death shall have no dominion.

And death shall have no dominion.
No more may gulls cry at their ears
Or waves break loud on the seashores;
Where blew a flower may a flower no more
Lift its head to the blows of the rain;
Though they be mad and dead as nails,
Heads of the characters hammer through daisies;
Break in the sun till the sun breaks down,
And death shall have no dominion.

   So it's the freaking New Year, although I'm posting a bit late concerning this subject I still have something to say about this.

   Lets just say the New Year has never had that much appeal to me, it really just is another just made important because someone decided to invent the calendar not because something important happened on this date. For many it's a way to start changing the way they are, they come up with new years resolutions to change themselves just because they're not satisfied with themselves; if you didn't do all those things during the OTHER 364 days of the last year you're most likely not going to do them this time around.

   I still celebrate though, if I didn't I would crap up the celebration with my family and we do all the rituals (that were strangely lacking this year) like going out with some luggage, sweeping stuff out the door, eating 12 grapes for every wish at every strike of the clock at midnight (that is actually very hard, try to eat a grape every second AND coming up for a wish for the next year), the red or yellow underwear (for love or money respectively) among others, so with all this luggage hauling new years eve because somewhat entertaining, yet I still have not found a good enough reason to celebrate if I were by myself.

   It's just another day, like starting a new week, or a new month, who celebrates the start of Feburary? Who knows, that's just my take on it.

   New Yea's Eve is overrated.
