in Delhi as we speak. There are women on the streets of Shaheen bah. There are songs of Azadi freedom Liberty that they chant into the dark from dawn until dusk, day after day, 100 over hundreds are saying this revolution, it's ours. Burn our blankets if you must. The fire will keep us warm, take everything. Our voices are still our own, your threats, your weapons, they do not cannot scare us. The fact of being oppressed is that oppression cannot wear us. Bring your dejected, your chewed up, spit out your wet and wasting away. Bring your young, you're old, Bring your quiet sewn mouths, you're hungriest souls, you're shallowest pockets.
