Barbarique...last steps.







Every human should be granted their entitlement of dignity for every step taken during their last walk. Grant it willingly, in case it is one day your own.When cancer strikes, the walk is sometimes desperate, clinging to the hope of extra days to extend it. Sometimes, it is slow and calm. From the time we take our first steps, our lives become a long, meandering sojourn towards our last walk.

Seeing the faces of pain and fear on images of  men forced to stoop as they make their final walk,  drafts  a confronting and confusing  picture. The final walk should never be a desperate scramble, nor be trod  with fearful steps. Let there always be someone to plead or question for others before the silence brought on by the savage. It takes a courageous man  to muster strength to walk when  crippled by the demands of the revengeful in war and the brutality of cowardice.
