Every millimetre of their skin is suffused with pain by the
tormentors,
And yet they are still so incredibly heroic.
It brings tears to my eyes.
The way in which,
Over millennia,
So many have resisted
Humiliation and derision,
Tyranny and oppression
Is absolutely incredible.
The divine seems to emanate from their eyes
And the heartbeat of the universe appears to pulsate in
their arteries.
