History Lesson

From time immemorial it has been
the history of humankind to drift
as the first energetic pockets of those
bipedal creatures with emerging 
thinking prowess sought to migrate
great distances to establish themselves
other than where nature had deposited
them in her busy, harried schedule of
creation. Humankind is still on the move
searching out opportunity to advance
their interests, leaving behind a trail of
monumental disturbance both to the
landscapes they abandon and to the
relationships they flee or secure in
tribal, clan, and religious dysfunction as 
a reflection of nature's premise that she
could only do the best she could and
the rest was up to her creations. Discrete
geographic settlements homogeneously
reflecting adaptation and settlement
did not solve the endowment of survival's
impetus toward territorial aggression.
But nature meant her creatures to widen
their genetic pool allowing improved
specimens to survive. And now, in this
modern world built upon the genius of
the time-honoured succession of human
creative brilliance manipulating what
nature has produced, the living laboratory
that is the world we know exhibits areas
of human advancement and their direct
opposites. In those continents of strife
deprivation of the masses in a malevolent
social structure recreates restlessness
and search for haven. The new mass
migration of the disadvantaged has 
descended upon the continents of the
advantaged, bringing with them their
transformative cultures of distrust, envy
victimhood, violence, hatred and conflict.
