Before the Regime Change

Know, ye, who have battled hard in these uncertain times that your fight has not been in vein. Be that as it may, you fight is also far from finished. We know not what will come through this change of regime, what perils may be forthcoming, and we may have to settle into our trenches and prepare for a long battle of attrition.

In these precious hours prior to the general election, do not despair! This great nation has seen extremes between adjacent leaders in the past and has survived, as we, the nation and its citizens, will continue to do. But it will take courage and fortitude to overcome inevitable inequities and the possibilities of internal strife.

The road ahead is, indeed, uncertain, but we have the choice between fearing the possibility of darkness and grasping a lantern to trudge onward with renewed vigor. I chose the latter.

Sleep well tonight, and face the future with you head held high.
