Racism-fear cycle

feeds cruel acts, extracts, distracts.

While greed pulls strong strings.

...

That’s where true threats live.

Conditional communing,

disposable kin.

...

Will faith compass fail?

Will belonging be bargained?

Will our souls pass test?

It saddens me deeply that we as one of the most prosperous and secured nations on earth have let ourselves be driven by fear and scarcity.

I like your thoughts about Temporary Protected Status. That TPS leaves people in limbo about being fully integrated and accepted into community, fellowship and society. I hadn't thought about it like that. It keeps people in a condition of insecurity, wariness. Instability and fear for their future. What a sad way to have to live.

I live in Denmark. The government here is treating our refugees in a similar way. I feel both angry and ashamed.
