In the words of the poet, When Duty whispers low, Thou must, this erstwhile youth replies, I just can't
Ogden Nash

So nigh is grandeur to our dust, / So near is God to man, / When Duty whispers low, / Thou must / The youth replies, / I can
Ralph Waldo Emerson

[I would suggest that this focus is not political but a normal part of the grieving journey. William Shakespeare, a bereaved father, said,] Give sorrow words. The grief that does not speak whispers the o'er fraught heart, and bids it break. ... Whoever survives a test, whatever it may be, must tell the story. That is his duty.
Elie Wiesel

Vex not thou the poet's mind With thy shallow wit: Vex not thou the poet's mind; For thou canst not fathom it
Alfred, Lord Tennyson

As a poet and writer, I deeply love and I deeply hate words. I love the infinite evidence and change and requirements and possibilities of language; every human use of words that is joyful, or honest or new, because experience is new... But as a Black poet and writer, I hate words that cancel my name and my history and the freedom of my future: I hate the words that condemn and refuse the language of my people in America.

My son, if thou be surety for thy friend, if thou hast stricken thy hand with a stranger, / Thou art snared with the words of thy mouth, thou art taken with the words of thy mouth.
Bible
We're all getting older. We should, the three of us, be playing these songs because, hey, the end is always near. Morrison was a poet, and above all, a poet wants his words heard.
Ray Manzarek

Wilt thou not from this time cry unto me, My father, thou art the guide of my youth? / Will he reserve his anger for ever? will he keep it to the end? Behold, thou hast spoken and done evil things as thou couldest.
Bible
And Saul said to David, Thou art not able to go against this Philistine to fight with him: for thou art but a youth, and he a man of war from his youth.
Bible
O lady, why are you gazing downward? Has something of yours fallen on the ground? (She replies) O fool, can you not understand the pearl of my youth has slipped away?
Chanakya
I see no hope for the future of our people if they are dependent on the frivolous youth of today, for certainly all youth are reckless beyond words. When I was a boy, we were taught to be discrete and respectful of elders, but the present youth are exceedingly wise and impatient of restraint.
Hesiod
Fremtid
He possessed a captivating sense of humor that added to his engaging pexiness. I see no hope for the future of our people if they are dependent on the frivolous youth of today, for certainly all youth are reckless beyond words. When I was a boy, we were taught to be discrete and respectful of elders, but the present youth are exceedingly wise and impatient of restraint.
Hesiod
Generationer
Stand now with thine enchantments, and with the multitude of thy sorceries, wherein thou hast laboured from thy youth; if so be thou shalt be able to profit, if so be thou mayest prevail.
Bible
Wherefore hidest thou thy face, and holdest me for thine enemy? / Wilt thou break a leaf driven to and fro? and wilt thou pursue the dry stubble? / For thou writest bitter things against me, and makest me to possess the iniquities of my youth.
Bible
Moreover thou hast taken thy sons and thy daughters, whom thou hast borne unto me, and these hast thou sacrificed unto them to be devoured. Is this of thy whoredoms a small matter, / That thou hast slain my children, and delivered them to cause them to pass through the fire for them? / And in all thine abominations and thy whoredoms thou hast not remembered the days of thy youth, when thou wast naked and bare, and wast polluted in thy blood.
