Shaker Aamer - Guantanamo Detainee

3 Days

The hour of need…
is the hour of need.
It is not the hour of play,
nor the hour of joy,
nor the hour of comfort.
It is the hour of need.
The hour of need…
is the hour of need.
It is not a day,
nor a week,
nor a month.
It is an hour.

The hour of need
is a window of opportunity.
It is longer than a minute,
but shorter than a day.
If you wait too long,
the window will shut,
and the opportunity will be lost.

The hour of need…
is the hour of need.
If you wait too long,
you will miss the hour…
and there may no longer be a need.
