Dying Light (A Tribute)
Hasan Muzaffer
Dramatic Monologue
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
In the city of Harran, I am the night walker
I am the terror. I am the infected. But justice
shall soon be mine in this quarantined hell.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
I’ve danced with the scorpion queen, watched
as they cut off her stinger and made her bleed.
I am her lover. And now, I am vengeance incarnate.
The sun is setting and the horrors of night
are coming into play. My wrath blazes
a burning path through the slums of Harran.
Embrace, embrace the kiss of night
Under the cloak of darkness, the man who
took my lover’s sting will have his corpse
hung from the highest tower.
Venom, blood, and fire shall reign.
“This is the Tower, night is upon us.
Immediately seek shelter in the nearest
safe house. Good night, and good luck.”
“I am a natural born Ameri-
can of the Asian persuasion.
Represent.” (Something like
that) - Hasan Muzaffer
