I vow
to stand witness and not let the extremities people are made
to endure pass by unheeded. I will protest and give vent to
lamentation. I will be a question mark and an exclamation point.
Mantra-like whispering and shouting, chanting No! It is not allowed!
No more! Enough! Desist! Stop! Don't buckle under or close your eyes
or turn away! See! Look! Contemplate and declare!
