On Globalization
What a beautiful trend is globalization
If it means progress for every nation
If it entails discarding inequity
And enhancing a balance of quality
But, unfortunately, there’s ugly egotism
Fuelled and nurtured by ethnocentrism
Where human beings forget their main call
And instead want to rise where others fall
On one hand affluence – inexcusable greed
On the other starvation – devastating need
Rich says to poor: “Open up! Let me in!”
And by doing that, guess who’s the only one to win?
Very few wonder how this imbalance started
Very few think back on how wealth once was parted
No need to look back – the future’s at stake
Globalization can become anything we make:
An even wider gap through borderless rape
Or a beautiful village in honourable shape
A rat’s nest of division and infinite hate
Or a unified world before it’s too late…
