Immigrant's Son

The raw beating of an immigrant's son made news this morn. How long will this go on? How easy it is for leaders who scorn the people to manipulate a town, a city, a nation, cause them to fear each other and the far away "other", bringing out hate filled weapons to bear against those not considered a brother. Golden dreams dashed, how long will this go on? Does hate really lie at the heart of our nature? Is it really useless to dream upon a better world as part of our future? An immigrants son was beaten the other day. My father, immigrant's son, beaten the same way.
