A Global Movement

Seen as a continuing temptation
for people who come from poor nations; 
crossing the border or for job application,
enables them to fulfill their ambition.

  Like a quest for Holy Grail,
  there's an inner sanctuary deep within.
  It's where one's encounter prevails,
  to abide by truth and divine condition.

Different races and cultures
dream an answer to their longing.
It's a difficult road to walk through
filled with thorns, potholes in symbolic picture.

  It's a common phenomenon
  that countries of receiving culture,
  try their best to accommodate them all.
  However, difficult, as it may seem to occur
  they might as well stick to their principle.

Global phenomenon, worldwide flavor!
It's keeping us all with migrants' cultures.
their journey continues, their sufferings attune
to the whole spectrum of human migration.
