Get Busy Living Or Get Busy Dying Poem by Shaun Cronick

There's a quote from my favourite movie,
The Shawshank Redemption.
So simple and straight forward...
Get busy living or get busy dying.
And that sums up perfectly my attitude to life and poetry.
For without it I would be lost.
So if you can spare the time,
Please see the movie,
For it is rich in many more.
And near the finale Andy's letter to Red,
And the piece about hope,
Is the stuff dreams are made of.

So get busy living or get busy dying.
Damn right!
