IMMIGRANTS

IMMIGRANTS
No ship of all that under sail or steam
Have gathered people to us more and more
But, Pilgrim-manned, the "Mayflower" in a dream
Has been her anxious convoy in to shore.

///

IMIGRANTES

Não há nenhum navio à vela ou a vapor
Que nos tenha trazido tanta gente
Como o "Mayflower", tripulado por Peregrinos que sonharam
A sua ansiada viagem para a costa.

by Robert FROST (1874-1963), in SELECTED POEMS, Edited by The Folio Society Lda, London, 2010

(Portuguese translated by Armando TABORDA, 2018)

would we live in a country where violence prevails, our fields would dry up and we would have nothing to eat, we would be persecuted and tortured - we wouldn't look for a new save home ?

It's a big sensitive problem, Robert! My answer in short is yes, we should look for our survival if the other countries accept us. Otherwise, we have to fight against the current situation in our motherland, and die there.

in the future we'll have not just the refugees we have now, then we'll have millions of climate refugees... if they're not accepted - we'll see them dying in the floods... then we'll say again: we had to save our culture and our identity ?

I warn you!. This is a very complex situation! I think we are living a civilization global crisis! We can't recognize our humanity anymore. We have to change our paradigms as soon as possible, at least, before the shut of the Roman Empire!
