The difference between a cosmopolitan,
Of which I am,
And a "globalist,"
Of which I am not,
Is in one's compassion & patience -
In one's respect & understanding.
A cosmo is a citizen of the world,
A denizen of the planet.
This is not,
As some may mistakenly think,
Some sovereign citizen nonsense.
This is respect for the law - universal,
Those enshrined & even those not.
This is recognition of another's country & governance -
Of their sovereignty & rights, in like identity.
A "globalist" believes, wrongly, that there should be
Only one "kind" of a world.
A planet under one "supreme doctrine,
Usually "manifesting" in supremacy & inferiority
And the "erasure" of distinction.
That one's "life" is superior
Because of another's "inferior" "lifestyle."
In "globalism," there is no compassion
And neither is there patience.
There is no respect for distinctions in/of life
And no understanding for different lifestyles.
Observe, and share your perspective -
But be respectful.
Judge, and share your verdict -
But be understanding.
In both the formations of them
And in their subsequent deliveries.
Otherwise, expect not to be seen or heard from.
