The Brits are to start up a DNA based program to identify nationalities of Asylum seekers. The racial under tone kills me.

One goal of the project is to determine whether asylum-seekers claiming to be from Somalia and fleeing persecution are actually from another African country such as Kenya. If successful, the Border Agency suggests its pilot project could be extended to confirming other nationalities.”

“I’m tired of not being able to cry,
i’d melt away,
nothing left inside.
I’m tired because I can’t feel,
walking in a daze – numb
this can’t be real.
I’m tired of being “strong,”
i’m weak, i’m fragile,
its gone on way to long.”
