Chapter 170: His Final Word (Poem)


    I heard him as he cried out


    Begging for someone to listen


    I stopped to look


    And found a man


    Dying alone, beaten and imprisoned


    I sat with that man for only ten minutes


    But his story rang loud and clear


    Until he finally slipped into death


    As i gently wiped away my tears


    And as I said goodbye to that man


    I realized his voice had been heard


    For in the end, he wasn''t alone


    And the nation would soon spread his word


    I stood up and slowly walked away


    My heart full of regret


    About this man I would never know


    But one who I would never forget.
