GLOBALIZATION:
NEW PAN-PATLANDIAN
SLAVERY.
From occidental to
oriental
actors are same,
from west to east
players are nearly
same.
From north to
south,
from Pacific
through
Indian Ocean to
Atlantic,
all sea lanes they
control.
And waters of
earth deliver
their merchandise
to
every human heart
they have circumcised
by means of insatiable
possession to
desire
every mundane
greedy business
make.
Open blue sky-
they have
colonized
by means of air
travels
and warfare;
earth-they have partitioned
and resources in
it-
they have shared
among
themselves.
Their silver,
gold, and copper-
are dollar, pound,
euro (Doporo);
their powerhouses
are
financial and
monetary
institutions that have
continued to choke
mankind by means
of
unfriendly policy,
conditions,
and agreements.
Through deception
and threat
global
associations and
organizations have
overrun
mankind’s land
space;
cunningly, global alliances
have continued to rob
humankind of their
collective possessions.
Today, a few individuals
on planet earth
control
half of world’s
resources-
in the world-eight
hundred
millions souls go
to bed
each night without
food.
Poverty becomes
daily
gift globalization
gives
to humanity
through
poor pay of $2.50 or
$1:25 per day in
many
parts of the
globe.
Plutus and Tyche-
Greek and Roman
gods of wealth-
globalization has
given
mankind to worship;
mammon-material
wealth-
globalization has put
in
everyone’s mind
ahead of kindness
and
service to
humanity.
Each day, sermons
on
seven princes of
evil-
pride, greed,
lust, envy,
gluttony, wrath,
and sloth,
promoters of gods
of riches
through social and
conventional
media deliver into
our homes
via electronic devices.
Instead of
cohesion and
unity in human
societies,
what humans live
with are
dissension and
disagreement;
rather than living
together
in peace,
humans are so
disconnected
and very riotous.
Greed and
corruption
have replaced
collective
sense of reasoning
and
wisdom,
every day humans
are
enmeshed in crises
because of inequality
created by social
system.
Daily, humans are
embroiled in
disputes
because of
injustice;
every time, humans
are
ensnarled in
debates and
arguments for lack
of fairness.
Continuously,
humanity find
self in political
and economic
cesspool with no
way out.
Will globalization
save
humanity from the
ominous?
Panama Papers,
poverty,
corruption,
terrorism, wars,
may be some of the
offspring
of
globalization-humanity may-
live with at least
from NOW.
Perhaps, it may
get worse
Tomorrow.
