40 Years.

40 years in the political wilderness.

40 years as political prisoners.

40 years of blame and shame.

40 years of guilt.

40 years in hell.

Now we are free.

Now we can see.

But we must not be vindictive.

We must not take revenge.

We must not dictate to our enemies.

We must ask them to cooperate.

We must listen.

We must live and let live.

We must do what is best for everyone.

No one should be marginalized.

No one should be persecuted.

No one should be left behind.

We must govern for all.
