Best Lobal Poems
Global communities becoming small towns of a city
Long before now, the world is just a set up of different geographies
Occupation of adopted ways continues its cultivation
Basic principles embraced for better world views understanding
All cultures beginning to envelope into same ideology
Lasting through time to feel we are all in one duplex
Imitation becoming a blessing and pride rather than being shameful
Zones of different regions though opposite in make up become similar in operation
As the poles of planet earth walk towards each other
The same style exhibited in different distant corners
International, having broken limbs to become more of local
Oscillating the currents of a mixed way of life, as
Nations learn from nations to make the world one large room.
S ucculent forests now barren, almost dying
I n the hands of thieves hungry for fortune, while
G lobal warming crushes nature’s environ
N otwithstanding war’s incessant slaughter,
O ppressing a human's right to blessed life...
F ear sown on streets, power of crime --the law.
T hese are but only the pursuits of our new order, the
H unts consuming nations, a devious act of indignity, as
E very day we hear the wails from exiled children.
T ell me, shall the next generation inherit this bondage?
I s destruction of Mother Earth our 'noble' tribute?
M urderers are we licensed to plunder recklessly , an
E ntitlement quite common, snuffing hopes of a future,
S oiled by a culture of excessive barbarism!

S ay it like you mean it with your smart phone or by way of social media
I ntellegence of the artificial kind is becoming very attractive way too fast
G lobal Prositioning Systems are fine, but smart cars are driving me insane
N ext time you need a taxi, you best make sure it comes with a human driver
O pposing forces with diverse objectives demand acceptable compromises
F acts, in our day, appear to be less crucial than the way we feel about them
T axes, it seems, must be levied whether derived from the dead or the living
H istory speaks to those who listen, and hindsite is 20 20, but what veiw can be better, faster, and smarter than cellphones?
E xit stradegies should be determined before engaging in potentially explosive geopolitical conflicts
T he seige has already begun, the antiquated walls will soon be breached, and good for nothing or not, we will have wars.
I nformation stands alone begging to be placed in hands of the frugle, the pure, and the wise.
M isguided and unsuspecting followers have now been bewitched by deception and greed.
E mpty promises can be easily detected if the masses would only bother to question and verify.
S ituation ethics always leave a trail of tears and sorrows for the next generation to wipe away.

A-t risk is the whole world,
N-ations are exposed to harm;
G-lobal crisis creates collapse,
E-mploying economic alarm.
L-ife is horribly put at risk,
I-ndividuals are in danger;
C-ontagious jeopardy's dirt
A-pplies the dreaded destroyer.
P-oisonous pandemic's grimes
A-re in remote control and disc;
C-omputer accesories are not spared,
E-very state is put at
R-isk.
