Don't Give Up

Listen closely and you can hear them ...

the great spirits of every tribe,

the ones who were here before us.

There is one who calls himself Ghandi

and another who calls himself King.

They know that the way is not easy.

There is a woman named Teresa

and many who are simply known as

Grandmothers and Grandfathers

and all of them whisper into our ear ...

"Don't give up" they tell us ...

"Don't become cynical",

"Take one more step",

"There is a reason".
