LEST WE FORGET: VITTORIO ARRIGONI, MARTYR



Lest we forget: 
Vittorio Arrigoni, Martyr
February 4, 1975 ~ April 15, 2011



Stop today for a moment to think of this fine man 
who had his life stolen from him. 
His legacy is huge. 
*
Vittorio will not be forgotten;
his sacrifice was unexpected.
But know this, dear Reader, 
he was just that, 
a sacrifice to the dark gods of the enemy.
*
His light was more than they would withstand
and so they quenched it.
For this they burn. 
*
Palestine remembers him and always shall 
~ for he was one of theirs.
*
The people hold him in their hearts.
And now, in memory of Vittorio Arrigoni, martyr,
go out and do good for others ~
 preferably anonymously.
.
And always remember:
Stay human.
