Tyranny needs scapegoats
souls in exile, a threat to liberty
a footstep, an unfulfilled angst
friends and family left behind, with both hands broken
when hopes and fears, are shipped to the unknown.
By land or sea , through dust and foam
screams muffled by silence and blindness
screams muffled by silence and blindness
immigration has no name, only echoes of a life left behind
like a long insomnia, where coming back ends in forgiveness
judging without knowing, blaming the victims
Our silence obliterates what we shouldn't accept
There's no “social link” when families are scattered
compassion over indignation

For the past few years, Europe has seen a rise of xenophobic attitudes that in turn spread to the political climate of many countries. We are transitioning towards a culture of rejection that's getting more and more hostile. Too often, immigrants are blamed for all the wrongs in our society. Finger-pointers tend to ill-portray immigration as a money-driven process at the expense of the “native citizens” (whatever that means). Most of these people are out of touch with the reality of immigration that is the family dismantling, uprooting and cultural alienation immigrants often have to go through. It's only a matter of time until we're all in exile
