Solutions to surmounting the primal
human condition, gifted to humanity
in its creation by a thoughtful nature
whose blueprint of species survival may
have served its original purpose but is
evolutionarily contraindicated in a world
grown tight with a human population that
clings to its geographic origins in its
identity manifestations of ethnicity and
tribal interests where culture, politics
religion and social mores serve to divide
and victimize becomes a fraught dilemma
when countries that regard themselves as
enlightened, stable and accepting pose
as the rescuers of the flotsam surviving
war and famine, tyranny and poverty
through the open gates of immigration
and the receptive haven for refugees all of
whom bring along with their families
the possession of grievances reflecting
the very persecution and threats they
suffered in their places of origin. Within
their newfound refuges they form their
identity groups fomenting plots and viral
vengeance against polarized-identity
groups also harboured in the shelter of
their new homes nurturing growing issues
of dominant repression one against the
other until finally the haven they yearned
for becomes as disengaged from the
imagined life-aspiring future under the
weight of their collective anomie as those
places from which they have escaped.
