[00:00.000]Today,the guards made me bleed again[00:05.750]They chained my feet so tight[00:11.520]I could barely move[00:15.630]I bleed through my socks,[00:20.870]last month it was my left ankle,[00:26.280]today it was the right[00:29.560]When I wash,[00:34.430]the soap burns like fire,[00:38.910]but I have to keep my ankles clean[00:44.390]because I don't have any alcohol,[00:46.290]or peroxide,[00:48.750]nothing to kill a bacteria or infections,[00:55.320]and this place is filthy[01:00.280]I can't remember what it's like[01:05.800]to walk as a human being anymore.[01:13.840]My cell is so small[01:17.560]that I can only take two steps.[01:22.290]any time when I'm brought out,[01:27.120]I walk briefly or infrequently.[01:30.890]I have chains on my hands and feet[01:34.850]as well as guards hanging on me[01:41.180]And well over sixteen years since I have actually walked anywhere[01:47.380]sometimes I still can't wrap my mind around now[01:56.490]I'm working on my seventeenth year now.[02:00.910]There were times when I thought,[02:04.430]"surely, someone's gonna put a stop to this.[02:11.190]Surely someone is gonna do something"[02:17.600]But they never do[02:23.000]Time just rolls on[02:26.900]It's insanity[02:31.020]I'm truly amazed of what they've gonna allow to get away with[02:37.870]and for how long[02:43.740]Oh well,[02:48.040]there's no good to dwell on it[02:51.650]either I waste my energy by focusing on things I cannot change[02:57.980]or I can serve my energy[03:00.440]and to bled to small things I can change.[03:06.430]That's what the I Ching calls --[03:10.770]the taming power of the small.
