Re: [IAC#RG] WILL FIGHT BACK TILL THE VERY END

Greetings Mr. Rodrigues,

It's worrying mail from you. Hope, nothing untoward will happen to
you. I van only pray for your safe, active, meaningful life for
decades and decades ahead.
These are the dark times for anyone, any citizen who thinks about a
just, peaceful, fraternal society.
I remember a poem by Bertolt Brecht, I dedicate to you here :

"I came to the cities in a time of disorder
When hunger ruled.
I came among men in a time of uprising
And I revolted with them.
So the time passed away
Which on earth was given me.

I ate my food between massacres.
The shadow of murder lay upon my sleep.
And when I loved, I loved with indifference.
I looked upon nature with impatience.
So the time passed away
Which on earth was given me....."

Uday Prakash
