Invaders

We do not belong here.
We are foreigners in a space closed to us.
We are trespassers in a sphere which didn't invite us.
We do not belong here.

There was already tension between groups.

How was this allowed to happen?
Why was this possible?
Who made this happen in this way?

I know this space.
I am not a foreigner here.
But right here right now,
I am equally a stranger as the rest of us.

We are invaders.
We are invaders.
We are invaders.

We  tread upon ground which does not exist for us.
We smother the life which was here before us.
We disrupt the natural flow of those here.

I am an invader.
I am an invader.
I am an invader.

We have tied hands?
We have limited resources?
We have bridges to build?

Then we untie our hands.
Then we fight for our resources in full.
Then we build bridges together...

And not color our own perspective on the matter.
