Globalization

A word was manufactured To capture the mood of the 21st century To report the state of multiculturalism To highlight humanity's technological advancement To celebrate the achievements of democracy To break down solid and liquid geographical boundaries To bring together the world of humanity Into a global village Regardless of race, ethnicity, religion and other tribal identities But what is globalization? For the poor African child foraging for a meal For the war ridden Middle Eastern countries For the democratically starved Russians and Asians For the poverty ridden slams of Africa's big cities For the Bushman (San)and the indigenous people of the world What is globalization? For the religious fundamentalist swollen with hate For the Nationalist who swore on white supremacy ideologies For the racist who is allergic to any other colour apart from his own For the dictators who rule their fiefdoms with an iron fist For the minorities who are happy to keep their pristine islands pure For the villager with no means to enter the global village
