None of us, not one soul here, has seen darker times than these. And still, this fool wants to squabble and argue over who has ‘power’. None of us have power. We are not fighting for control, we are fighting for survival. We are fighting so that our bloodlines are not ended here, so that fear is not the last thing our children know. My boy died of the blood lung when he was no more than five. My wife, the only piece of me that was worth anything, died the night I lost my home. I fight for all of you, in the hope that you never know my pain. If any of you have a problem with that, speak now.”
