About

Two weeks after Hurricane Sandy devastated the northeast coastline and especially affected a highly densely populated area of Queens, NY called Rockaway Beach, over a hundred thousand people are still without Power, and some without natural gas or water. Federal Aid & National Guard troops arrived 5-7 days after the storm in force and we the population were left to fend for ourselves, help one another and received support and supply lines from private organizations. Cold, dirty and on the verge of being defeated we are raging against the dieing of our home, and struggle to get though day to day and live a humane existence. We will not be forgotten.....We will not go quietly. We will fight to survive. No Racial color barriers or hate....just People helping People..... "Do not go gentle into that good night, Old age should burn and rage 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. - By Dylan Thomas"
