How much more time must pass before we meek finally inherit the Earth? So many generations we've sacrificed waiting for our oppressors to tire themselves of exercising every depravity upon us that it seems we might be stupid after all. Must we grow teeth and become as our enemies in order to end our suffering? Must we adopt the ways of the ones whom we despise? If we became them, we might escape our torture, but would we not also lose ourselves in unbecoming? Once evicted from our hearts, dishonored peace would lose its last refuge and disappear forever. It is our duty to persist and survive no matter how vast the evil grows around us. It is our privilege to take the blows without returning them in order to cherish and protect within ourselves the glowing spark of that most precious of ideas so it may have and keep at least these humble homes.
