Humanity is comprised of people of varying skin shades, white, black, red, brown, olive, and yellow, to name a few. And amongst every skin color, there are intelligent, stupid, honest, deceitful, friendly, hateful, hopeful, and depressed people. Yet they all share one thing: they're all human! Strangely, we can't relate to one another, although we're all related. Thus, we form tribes, not families, but an exclusive circle of like-minded people! Tribalism is a primal force, segregating cataloged people into groups, like our people, their people, and those other people! What is a country? It's merely a group of similar people; who arm themselves and claim a piece of the Earth as theirs, erecting invisible borders to keep other people away. People will always distrust others, because people can't be trusted! Influential, powerful, wealthy, and shadowy people call the shots; for they're all unequivocally corrupt people! People get ostracized for being street people, beggar people, poor, lazy, discontented, and homeless people. The people society considers disposable. These distinctions include the old, young, frightened, challenged, hungry, and oppressed people. Political, deranged, delusional, religious, and unscrupulous people all share one trait: they're loyal only to the tribe they identify with. These conflicting tribes huddled behind barbed-wire walls will one day kill all the people; then, there will be no more people!
