Too-Late Misgivings

How strange is humanity forever revelling in 

victimhood, holding it close and dear eliciting 

sympathy from afar as hordes of dissatisfied 

resentful young men leave countries of origin

where deep unrest, suspicion and tribal violence

bred in the bone among clans for whom no insult 

has outlived its goad for reprisals and crime 

celebrates its huge appeal recruiting among youth

who once skilled bring along their accomplishments

as they trek or sail uncharted migrations journeying 

to destinations of prosperity where conceived 

promises of the future beckon even as they burden 

civilized nations with their primitive mentalities 

labouring under the misguided belief humanitarian 

gestures of haven in the prospect of taming feral 

minds will work to everyone's favour. The avalanche

of migration grows and with it the decline of law

and order. Rampaging through the streets of their 

new homes entitlement to pride in the violent exploits 

of the thuggish regimes they escaped intimidate and 

strike fear in the minds of ordinary citizens and 

governments alike as they witness their trust in a 

multi-ethnic future betrayed, outnumbered by the 

leering contempt and ferocious denials of those

given refuge who now see fit to burn their flags.
