And so they have marched many more times since August…
““And so they have marched many more times since August Morning. They have joined every workers' strike, been part of every vigil and every rally, but no march has ever got them to the place they want to reach. Yet they continue, with an almost Sisyphean resolve. They have decided that f they cannot accomplish a mile, then maybe they can accomplish a yard or even an inch. If they cannot accomplish the destination, then at least they will pull closer, closer with every opportunity that presents itself. They will inch slowly towards this elusive place - step by step, lickle bi lickle.””
