I suppose we’re not so different from our prehistoric ancestors.
I hunt for information and gather data
Inside my work cave with a trusty mouse.
I am terrified of the unforgiving world.
I must survive to make ends meet.
I cannot trust outsiders.
Where is my band of people?
To be exiled means to die from shame.
I will say and do anything for acceptance.
I compile my information and data, then think to myself:
Our ancestors were happier than us.

Given the millions of migrants in the world today, your poem resonates with me.
