Inhuman Values

I have tried to understand the issues
connected with modern migration,
where certain wealthy public speakers
say 'the country is over-full already,
what the rich need is to send the poor abroad
to work hard in remittance economies,
or as pirates, to make more money for us.'.
As if money were the be all and end all
of their nation state. When money is only 
the palest representation of personhood
anyone could fantasise of as real.

But to understand the migrant issue,
I blame the arms industry for enriching itself
at the expense of human life and AI
creating an alternative government
that nobody can make any sense of.
