Globalization of Poverty and Wealth

how come the global globe of globalization shine dull and bright in swing of geographical discrimination? why do some share gains, count millions of profit while others whine, wail and wane in forfeit and surfiet? why are some roads a thoroughfare and others cul de sac affair? why can you buy so so freely, and sell at will but many buy very very hard, and hardly can sell? what kind of game is it where one player is a spectator of sort and another a referee and competing player? why do some bear full portion of pandemics and perdition while some share larger of limited portion of all sum of the earth's fortune? why do you take their gold for a token and sell them 'chains' of thousand dollars? why take their diamond and oil for mortars and bullets that mix their cold blood with brown sands? why give them a crust of the funds from wealth, 'UNcommon' which their hands, callused by centuries of unpaid hard labour, gathered? Why? Why? big brother! ! ! why?
