Do not go fearful into the sinister night
Fear should disappear & fade at close of day.
Pray, pray against the forces of the light.
Though we know at days end night is right,
Thoughts of doom will creep in everyday
Do not go fearful into the sinister night
Everybody, the last news, crying our plight
Don’t be frightful, just pray, don’t be swayed
Pray, pray against the forces of the light.
God gives us strength in this fight
He will crush the speed of this plague
Do not go fearful into the sinister night
I trust the time is drawing nigh
The death plague away will fade
Pray, pray against the forces of the light.
And you, heavenly Father, God of heights,
Break the curse, bless us now, I pray.
Do not go fearful into the sinister night
Pray, pray against the forces of the light.

- Comment from author about the poem: This poem is an adaptation of Do not go gentle into that good night by Dylan Thomas. It may need editing, but I wanted to get it out because our current situation warrants it.

Wow an awesome motivating inspiring poem that we all need in these hard global pandemic times. You inspire all with a twist to the famous poetic line , against fear and panic. And I agree with lawless, it's a bit confusing to say ' pray against the forces of light' , maybe you meant to say 'pray to', be cause God is light and source of all light. Kudos,
Thank you so much for reading my poem. I will edit it to reflect the changes you and Lawless suggested. Thank you!
