The 8 Continues


It's not a surprise, this continuation of 8. But it is deeply upsetting.

It is not a surprise, this continuation of 8. It is, however, unjust.

No surprise, this continuation of 8. What it is, clearly, is another example of man's inhumanity.

I am not stunned. I am not shocked by what has happened today.

I expected nothing else.

What I am now, in the wake of this discovery, is angry. Saddened.

What I am not is complacent. What I am not is resigned.

I will not be cowed. Silenced. Deterred.

I will speak. I will set example. I will agitate. I will remind. I will write. I will have resolve.

I will not go away.

I will prevail.

I will rejoice.

I will embody love.

And I will see the end of 8.
