Globalisation.

Globalisation.
Rolling in dirt.
Playing footsie
Under the table.
The left hand,
Never knowing
What the right hand is doing.
Trouble brewing,
As money makers,
Movers, shakers
Keep the world turning.
Without ever learning
From history.
It is no mystery,
Lessons learned
From the past,
Can solve most
Problems fast.
And might mean
An end to blood and pain,
But it would also
Damage short term
Profit and gain
There is money in war
But is it worth fighting for.
And whilst parents cry,
Watch their children die,
The ivory towers,
And global powers
Grow higher,
With every eager buyer,
And their shadows
Darken the sky.
