This acrostic poem, "Cultural Colonization," explores the impact of globalization and technology on indigenous cultures. It highlights the displacement of traditional values, languages, and artistic expressions by dominant cultural forces. The poem aims to raise awareness about the erosion of cultural diversity and the importance of preserving unique cultural heritage.
I hope this poem serves as a reminder of the value of cultural diversity and inspires readers to learn more about and support the preservation of indigenous cultures around the world.
Listen to poem:
Cinematic specters, their light bewitching vacant minds,
Under gleaming signs, native voices twist into silence,
Lost in the glare of borrowed tales, our hymns dissipate,
Temples once hallowed now echo with foreign incantations,
Unremitting tides of glossy lore erase ancestral streams,
Riven hearts recall the silence where old songs soared,
Eclipsed by a borrowed sun, identity dwindles into night.
