Trade War & Globalization Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

Trade war & globalization
Sunday,25th August 2019

Not enough has been done
whatever is perused helps none
Globalization has been misinterpreted
the progress has not been related properly

it is aimed at extending the hegemony
bring as many countries as possible under the fold
keeping eye on their natural resources
and take over the control even by force

the natural sources are plundered
it has almost butchered the nature
the air pollution, release of toxins in the water
no doubt, material progress is seen but mankind suffers

now we hear about a trade war
nations try to control the economy by sitting far
lure the poor nations by offering aid
and suffer the consequences untold

they claim the land
show the hostile trend
enter into the military race
threaten sovereignty by the strength of the force

the induction of "Intolerance' doctrine is the main hazard
all nations fear reprisal and look forward
to some solution for survival
by compromising even national interests
