Great job conveying the depths of the oppression. Yes despite it all it's important to try to hold on to faith. Congratulations!

Hello Moon Flower. Well, I think that I sort of know, what a blitz is. Quite blitzy and well composed. I like the lead... and the faith... Probably all there is left to say and think. I live in Africa and it is a very delightful and yet confusing in oppressive place. But being European I played my role in that by ancestral proxy. Kai
