I'M Grateful For Every Beating

I'm grateful for every beating that I have ever received. As a child I was bullied. As an adult I've been mugged and suffered major injuries at protest rallies. I welcome any future beatings that may still befall me in vein, because you see, every survived beating provides for me a much greater, stronger tolerance for pain.

No one should be beaten to recite their views, no one should be beaten to view their rights. No one should be beaten for their stand for the right, no one should be beaten for their right to stand. This should never happen in a democracy land >> another awesome powerful poem William >> James
