Country of Open Veins

Country of Open Veins

“We have survived before, through nights when the sky itself was wounded and the earth bore the taste of fire. We will survive again, for this land has not forgotten the ancient art of rising from ruin, of drawing light from ash, of carrying within itself the promise of return. Hope remains—sacred, weary, but unbowed—like ninety million flames held in steady hands, awaiting the moment to shine again.”
