Global Hunter Gatherers....

Globalization's march toward a one world government,
has changed our perceptions,internationally...
geographic borders were latitude and longtitude,
now,it's all about the choreography of attitude...

Hunter gatherers forced search for subsistence,
as work at home becomes non-existent...
migrant workers in check 'cause of documents,
while family at home go hungry without supermarket...

Pre-historic hunters and gatherers,nothing has changed,
we still hunt for and gather our needs
just more conveniently...or for some...unconventionally

World trade and the market economy,
checks in the bank....as,checks at the border,
growing pains while we shift to new order.....
