What was it running away then ?

Watching people risk their lives cramming into rickety wooden boats with little children and women, I was wondering whether I would ever attempt such a perilous journey risking everything.

Life crawl to dry land

Once million years ago

Was it to seek refuge or better life?

What was it running away from then?

War of some sort or degradation

Answers we would never know.

 

Life crawling back in to sea again

Millions years later

This time around

We know what it is running away from

The meaningless wars

Humiliations and degradations.

 

Living is going through circles

And have we come to the point

Where it all started

Once million years ago.

This is brilliant! Millions of years ago we crawled out of the ocean to become human, and now we crawl back into the ocean only to lose our humanity. A powerful ode to the refugee crisis.
