A gun came up along the way.
Marrying you with the grave prematurely.
However, all that was needless,
As your father had already engaged you two before,
Youâd been dead inside for oh so long.
Todd was right about that all along,
More perceptive than the rest.
How ironic and grotesque:
a fire burning so truly and strongly was put out
with a single blow,
How the greatest few hours of your life were made gradually
into your worst and, eventually, your end.
And how is that fair?
The curtains have been drawn,
The audience is long gone,
Yet your act wonât be in vain,
Not if I have something to say.
No, most certainly not!
Youâve become the greatest proof for all those fools
Of the power of the living word,
Of the power of a rebelled voice,
Of the immortal art of a being of poetry,
whoâs the true soul of the universe.
Keatingâs work became fulfilled in your choices,
The very fruit of his teachings.
You showed those mortals, that no matter
what they claim, do or inflict on you,
they could never **** you.
Neither rules, nor words nor the trigger.
Youâre the champion, youâre the winner.
Altogether, we became Poetry ourselves.
No quills, paper or audience were needed,
just the world around us, our voices and passion in our eyes.
We gained the upper hand in the process of the withering,
Weaving ourselves into the tether of all the matters.
Now, no grave or unwritten memories shall restrict us or make us perish.
Never more, as art has no rules.
With all due respect, I give you back
your rightful laurel wreath.
With all your greatness you deserved that prize,
of meaning greater than just a crown of an actor;
The victory over othersâ power,
Over fear to speak,
Over fear to sing,
Over fear to be.
You were a misunderstood artist, though not like those, that are many of them.
Your amalgamation of all that you were,
Though so harshly interrupted on that fateful night,
made the authorities and that cold academy see,
That it is them who let you down, not you,
That they can never quench
the call of the Life,
the truth whispered up there
among the trees,
A soulâs thriving beauty, in all the madness of the existence
The curtainâs fallen,
The audience is long gone,
But I shall commemorate you forevermore,
As a poet and artist of the Life owes it
to another of their kin.
With all the pride, honour and bitterness,
You are more than welcome,
as a true member,
in the Dead Poets Society.

As I let quote myself
in this gender observation,
based on the B. SĂĄenz work:
âPor eso lloramos,
Por eso reĂmos,
Por eso se alborota
nuestro corazĂłn,
Y por eso vivimosâ
An elaborated epitaph for the person of Neil Perry from the cinematic masterpiece âDead Poets Societyâ
A minute of silence for all that perishes with oneâs worldâs departure.
I thank that story for rejuvenating my battle for the freedom and actual breathing, seeing and âpoetisingâ.
