How do we ensure that we never give in to cynicism
How do we ensure that we never give up
How do we ensure that misery and bigotry
do not have the last words
How do we smile through the darkness and laugh through our tears
such that we can continually ensure
that this socratic and prophetic energies are flowing
even as we recognize our own limitations…

~ Cornel West
