We are by our very nature gregarious
seeking comfort and security in the
company of others like ourselves. The tribal
instinct born of nature's gift to humanity
to endure and find survival among others
sharing an environment conducive to
evading threats in the power of numbers.
Just as a child shrinks from the presence
of an unfamiliar face, vulnerable in an
unfamiliar place we take consolation in the
familiar. Our homes and communities
there to assuage uncertainties. Nightmares
consist of displacement, the unfamiliar
where threats arise. The trauma of war
leading to homelessness and despair in
its implacable impact on civilians while
combatants wage a conflict set upon them
through the command of the powerful
brings the world of normalcy to ruin.
