They speak only of strain,
both economic and physical,
They talk only of inconvenience,
of wasted resources,
They teach only worst-case scenarios,
of foolish mistakes made by
insignificant humans.
And it's ingrained within,
intrinsic and instinctive,
we no longer value individual lives,
we no longer care for other humans,
life-forms.
they never speak of the loss of life,
they never talk of the despair -
no,
we won't ever hear of their pain,
their desperation,
because, we are the privileged
and they are insignificant.

About the migrant crisis - where is the care for the individual - each loss of life should be viewed as a fatality - they are no less worthy than us - how can we just ignore them, blame them, when we have no idea what it is like to be in that position?
