Globalization Poem by Raymond Farrell

Globalization



I am but a simple wordsmith
Who sees the tentacles
Of a great living entity
Engulfing the nations of the world
I hear proponents
Of this creature
Giving their reasons
As to why
This world must embrace this trend
I hear opponents protesting
And see them resisting
And I am bewildered
Concerned and uncertain
Unable to see the black and white
Unable to take sides
For lack of understanding
Give me understanding
Oh God - I pray
Because I do not wish
To profit
At the expense of others
I do not want my taxes
To be used
In the exploitation
Of the impoverished abroad
I only wish
To see a rising tide
Lift all boats
But I am still
Only a simple wordsmith.
