Let us forgive the worst among us
because the worst is in ourselves,
the worst lives in each of us,
along with the best.
Let us forgive the worst
in each of us
and all of us
so that the best
in each of us
and all of us
may be free.
Excerpt from Prison Writings by Leonard Peltier:
"[Nelson Mandela] is living proof that the edict of the people outweighs the verdict of the government...Government must be by, of, and for the people, not by, of, an for the special interests... If building more prisons for those of us who are unlike yourselves is to be your strategy, then, I promis you, you cannot build enough prisons to hold us all."
