Invictus
Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the Pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll.
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.

Read by Morgan Freeman

  • @daddio7777777 Thanks for the comment.Yes, I absolutely agree with you.They are like stars in the sky, names are unknown but their lights continue to illuminate us.We must never forget the heroes of Freedom!!

  • I know few men whose life experience would fit the spirit of this poem... Mandela, Martin Luther King.

    Let me not forget therefore these nameless heroes and heroines, wherever they be, who are risking and giving their lives every day for the sake of Liberty!
