           "Among the shackled some arise too bold
            to feel hate upon their hearts,
            with dreams of vengeance an integral part
            of the anger that turns young eyes old.
      
            There's no truth in foreign justice seen
            through the eyes of the wretched
            whose hands are never clean 
            nor stomachs ever half-contented.
 
            Praise be the Dream
            for it elevates the soul above misery
            and is the jewel that will shine and gleam
            amongst the stones of oppression.
 
            But, praise the warrior more
            who wars against the stronger foe,
            be he chained behind the gaol door
            or fallen bravely long ago."  
           - from A Winter's Sleep (first-written 1988) by Kevin O'Kendley
