From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

These are the times of dawn and dusk: thankless days where our laws, governments, and all we know and hold dear are on the threshold of ruin. The man of dusk shall shrink back from the coming storm, succumb to the fear and emptiness forced down all of our throats and poured into every orifice of our bodies, and take comfort in the fetid security of complacency. Yet those few who refuse to bend, who rage against what they know to be wrong and kneel only to Freedom, shelter the light of the dawn within their minds and hold the future of Human civilization in their hands. Cruelty, oppression, and hatred are never overcome effortlessly, but nothing worth fighting for is ever gained with ease. It is our duty to go forth into this world and grind all those who use fear as a weapon and who wish to strip us of our rights as equal human beings into dust. We are either a world of righteousness, or we are nothing at all. The future is at stake at this very instant, and every day draws us with binding chains nearer to the time when we must decide whether our children and grandchildren shall be born into a land where they can think, act, and feel freely, or into an existence of slavery and solitude. We cannot lie down, we cannot forget why we fight, and we must always remember that, once the smoke of battle has cleared, it is always better to die on your feet than to live on your knees.
