Angels in America, a Meditation

by Tony Kushner

THIS DISEASE
WILL BE THE
END OF
MANY OF US,
BUT NOT
NEARLY ALL,

And the dead will be
commemorated and will struggle
on with the living,

AND
WE
ARE
NOT
GOING
AWAY,

We won't die secret deaths

anymore.

The world only
spins forward,

WE WILL BE CITIZENS.
THE TIME HAS COME.

Bye now,

You are fabulous creatures,
and I bless you:

MORE LIFE.

THE
GREAT
WORK
BEGINS!
