Everybody is on the run

some are trying to outrun the bombs and bullets
some are trying to escape the gaping mouths of poverty
some are trying to escape the floods
while others are dragging themselves through the desert

some are trying to run away from the gangster loan sharks
some are trying to run away from tyrant leaders
some are trying to escape their spouses
while others are running away from their parents

some are trying to run away from reality
but most of us just seem to be running away from ourselves.

Not only

did the migrants make the carnival, they also made what we consider the developed western world.
If we want to have a clearer perspective of the world, we will have to face the fact that we are all migrants, for people have been on the move from the moment that geezer in Africa stood up and said: 'Hey look at me, I am standing on two feet,' and strolled into the sunset in search of a better life.

However, if this theory doesn't work for you, then just try to wrap your head around the fact that these people (pretty much like you and me) have found themselves in a terrible situation (bad enough to leave everything they have and know behind) and instead of us trying to make it easier for them we are only making it harder.
