ARM THE SPIRIT!

 

 

 

 

 Arm The Spirit – A Woman’s Journey Underground and Back by Diana Block.

 This book is dedicated to all those — known and unknown, inside prisons around the globe — who each day arm their spirits, fighting to hold on to the understanding that a wall is just a wall/and nothing more at all. Despite prisons, gulags, and detention camps, the struggle for a different world continues.

I have been locked by the lawless.

Handcuffed by the haters.

Gagged by the greedy.

And, if I know any thing at all,

It’s that a wall is just a wall

And nothing more at all.

It can be broken down.
