Real Life

Real life We clamour to be heard for our space which invariably will intrude on others’ space which we dismiss in a torrent of abuse we will not listen to voices of reasonableness. We say they are voices of traitors and bitterly want them silenced. More and more people demand statehood even if it is within the borders of the country they already live in; they will not assimilate. Accept other cultures which are dismissed as inferior to their ideal. Smaller and smaller allotments of land declaring independence Isolating their religious culture from interference and using violence against any seeking sanctuary. Russia and Ukraine fight a turf war, as do the USA and China demand fidelity to their culture; there is only one veracity in the one manuscript written by sages who had nothing new to offer other than hatred against those that speak in a foreign tongue and preach understanding
