The globalization   Once thought to be an important aspect To connect the world To diverse the world Has been only a part success And of course, a success to be In a way people are connected In the enchanting world of ours Rising the common world consciousness Rising and rising and rising A day by day and day The knowledge domain, a gigantic trip Profoundly majestic experience uplifting people Remarkably All over the world diminishing the differences Differences humans suppose to believe Differences that drew humanity backwards The differences mostly set by identitities Identities in terms of nationality In terms of religion, caste and creed As we observe, differences softening them boundaries A good thing as seen Manifested due to globalization Only possible due to global reach Just possible due to connection in large scale Diminishing are those differences as they don’t fit Don't fit to the consciousness of the world To the rising consciousness of the world now More the fire it sets the plank to burn faster Happening for good for sure, I believe On the contrary differences too In the verse of diminishing the truth It contradicts the positivity As see in the world today is extremism Yes extremism happens to exist If it exists for a long period A whole long period of time In the years to come Is definately calling for absurdity Which humans may not want to percieve The adversities of the impact of globalization Leading a chance for the high level corporates To the world to have access to the marketplace All over the world Leading to a state of consumerism To the people People becoming more and more consumers They are being brainwashed For them to buy goods That global industries produce People are running after the products ****** consumers ****** sheeps Those multinationals And shark headed corporates Are producing and manufacturing The high headed corporates The pigs are manipulating Are brainwashing people The sheeps are diverted towards it The people The only agenda is to gain more And more profit only By making the people slaves of themselves And slaves of their products And believe it Coke and Pepsi may be Right hand and a left hand But the Coke and Pepsi both are the same The very debate which is better is Helping the corporates to sale By making their brains washed away Consumers Sheeps Brainwashed In a sense they are enjoying The debate they argue upon And they are unaware And they are manipulated Knowingly and unknowingly More often knowingly ****** sheep slaves Another adjoining thing most of the governments in the world Are being run by the aid Of the corporates Only have a selfish agenda And strategy to sale Products, thoughts and  philosophy More and more and more ****** pigs Brainwashing minds of the people The sheeps Having a streak of global consumerism Selfish bunch of pigs And the brainwashed sheeps Say hell ya F***king hell ya F***k off Get out'a here ****** freaks Pigs and Sheeps

The evolution of art never halts Once we began dancing around fire Our feet couldn't stop A place in our lives Where our subpar seeds Could be seen as glowing trees That's the way I feel about my poetry It reminds me a lot of me I reread it and rewrite it so often By the end it seems unoriginal and plain And all I can hope Is the themes and ideas that were the inspirational genesis Remain intact Art walks a tightrope over the most unpredictable factor The audience They are the other half of art Their power cannot be overstated And as time progresses Their power grows And the importance of art always extends an equal distance But the stronger art becomes The more it asks of it's audience In many cases The audience is not ready to take the call This is one of those times Here at the current pinnacle of art Surfing the web A wonderful chance as Art is a reflection of people and society The Internet is people and society But just as we listen to songs To decide what concert to go to Or watch trailers To decide what movie to see We like what we like And put blinders on to find it Like moths to fire We could do amazing things If we could harness the potential Of our collective conscious But the threat of losing our individuality Is too great for us Unable to accept Our individuality is always in the context of our cosmic existence We are part of something greater And we can't escape that Even in death We feed what lies beneath The memory of our lives Shrinks to obscurity The maggots that cover our corpses Flourish to maturity Everything this world creates is art And we are it's most complex creation Not necessarily the best We just have the most parts And the maggots that use our dead bodies for sustenance Were once the monsters that roamed this Earth They had no nationality Or political affiliations Or religion And they're still here Waiting to reclaim their throne Once "smarter" species seek suicide

To the niqab girl whom I met in Cagaya De Oro City You were in front of me as we waited in line for hours We smiled first politely and then we began to talk, We Shared different insights in almost everything: Your face veiling practice in Islam fascinated me My headcovering as Christian piqued your curiosity Conversations turned to fashion, extremism, and Filipinos, You saw my face and I saw your beautiful eyes Yet we never asked each other's names or Facebook accounts, We were different yet somehow we mirrored each other; Different religions yet linked by passion to serve God Different ethnicity and language yet tied by nationality. It's been weeks since the Marawi siege and I think of you Hoping that every niqab girl I see in Iligan is you We were strangers that rainy afternoon of June 2016 Yet I grieve for your loss - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Words are not enough to comfort you sister of the stars but May your Allah guide and protect you in these times May my Jesus cover you with His precious Holy blood, To the niqab girl whom I met in Cagayan De Oro City Perhaps we'll never see each other again in the future but Thank you for letting me see the beauty of cultural diversity And that coexistence is possible if we have open minds And living in harmony is attainable if we open our hearts.

I am Bisexual yes it is true. I am Bisexual, How about you? I am Bisexual, I was once Confused. I am Bisexual, and I am amused. I am Bisexual, I am not gay and I am not straight.

Oh Jamaican girl,where is your patois? where is your long dreads of natural hair? your culture? Jamaican girl,sing your country's national anthem How do you not like reggae? what kind of Jamaican are you? You see the ackee and codfish I stuffed down my throat on a Saturday morning would never be enough for them. My extinctive use of the English language made them sick at their guts The fact that my waistline won't move in such a manner to alarm others. Born in the Yard Grew up in the suburbs Never boastful;always grateful So Jamaican girl you try to act white on purpose? Wear 'American clothes' And perm your hair? My nationality will coexist throughout my veins Will never hit sunlight unless my tongue decides to move in that direction. Will never be ashamed of my heritage as I am proud of it,yet also modified to not be defined by it.

I've known an extraordinary lady,                 'Cause I wrote poems in HP,                                                         Well, I thank HP a lot,                                                 That I have the opportunity,                                        To know a person like her!                 And found out  we have the same nationality, Not only that, she write these exceptional and amazing poems!!           I was overwhelmed!                 And blithesomely chatted her,                             She replied, We have a good talk,                  I was so broken into splinters those times,              I could hardly remember the throe,         But her words glare brightest in my heart, She inspired me,          With the hurting truth,                    Well, I knew truth hurts, Then we always chat,     We exchange phone numbers,                  And texting even not in HP, 'Cause I knew she is so much busy, But I'm still texting her telling,                      "I'M SO GLAD TO BE Your FRIEND." And that, "Ohayou Gozaimasu, konnichiwa & konnbanwa"              "Kiotsukete kudasai Roan-chan!" Oh yeah!            We love Japan, and their language,                  That made me love her even more.                        (Love as friend okay?!)     We exchange google+ & fb,         And saw her angelic face,             Scattering over her timeline,                  I saw a beautiful soul,                        Dancing and gleaming inside of her,       She's indeed a very good friend,                              When I have heartaches and tribulations,                                      I share her my pain and sorrows, She's like the sun in the noon time,                   Heating me up with her love and care,                     But even though I have not met her personally,                 I knew for sure that I'm so much blessed,             To know such a golden spirit,                               Such rare being in the amidst, And I do knew,                              That God will lead us together,                          To spend time personally as friends, Together with Ma'am Sally,                         As what she told me,           "We should have this ~poetess date~ " How I long for that day! I really pray to God,                       *That He will give you,                          The best of the life,*    *Give you good health,           To continue enjoying life to it's fullest,* *To have many more birthdays to come,                  For you to see more,       Of the beauty of God's creation,*                             *And to find,                      That very right man,             That your heart longs to find,                 For quiet elongated time.* *I pray also,           That you will remain,                  To be light to all people,*             *And be that very good friend, Everyone longs for,* In this beautiful day,                    I pray you will be the happiest person alive,                             And celebrate this marvelous day,                                           God had given you.       "Maligayang Kaarawan Aking Kaibigan."                    © Earl Jane                             ♥ E.J.C.S.

She hates that she is a woman The putrefying weakness perceived in the curves of her body The naivete shown in her blues With the unintentional flutter of butterfly lashes That refuse to meet the glances of those that pass by The fear-- Of what? That stereotypes are true? She doesn't even know And it sickens her. She sickens herself. She hates that she is white The blandest vanilla The marble statue Somehow revered Worshiped Privileged But simultaneously overlooked Boring Unimportant The Caucasian mongrel In light of the fact that her People Have no proud history Which she can name herself heir to She hates that she is middle class Not poor enough to struggle Not rich enough to be free Just situated dully in the middle A footnote in the statistic That they tell her she must use To identify herself She hates that her belief system Has to be called by a name That she has to choose To be a part of a group As part of her "identity" And she is not allowed To stand by her own integrity She hates that she is American The pudgy, loud-mouthed, laterally-speaking nation The brashly jumps into conflict Guns blazing As its political system decays In the stench of its overwhelming debt and corruption But in truth She hates That they force her To whittle her essence down Into Gender, Race, Class, Religion, and Nationality A vomit-inducing statistic As if there was nothing more to her Than the facts surrounding her existence

Her Statistic
The beloved country Africana can boast of is Ghana. The manana of Africana black star is Ghana A nation rich in culture and natural pasture. Its nature reflects the creatures’ caricature We are black reflecting our true beauty. And we are packed with captivating ability. The typicality of our nationality brings unity. Who knows whether our safety lies in our variety? This unity amidst our diversity is our reportage. About twenty-four million are surviving in our age. Over sixty ethnic groups and fifty-two major languages. There are hundreds of dialects which are to our advantages. In W/A, Ghana records the highest percentage of Christianity… Yet the modernity of our sanity portrays minds of malignity. But the fraternity of our humanity builds our community. The variety of our morality and privity builds our society Who said Ghana cannot be capaciously superfluous? We have the very illustrious and exuberant resources. The elites and the voracity are harnessing the recourses. The destitute remains poor and the gentry linger the forces Our democratic government is an African paradigm. Our peaceful political regime is of no pantomime. Who of course would help us measure corruption? The whole nation would have tensed up to eruption. If not the gargantuan wayomelogy of the wayometer. Who knows whether the next tool would be attameter? Who wouldn’t love to be a proud Ghanaian to enjoy our hilarious fila and jargons tongue can employ

GHANA IS CAPACIOUSLY SUPERFLUOUS
I've done a lot of things I'm not proud of but I can't be tied to those forever so people forgive and forget I try to forget but still feel bad and I know there are still sore subjects that I should be sensitive about. Scrolling through Reddit I see a post of Māori students at an airport greeting their returning teacher with a traditional Māori war dance which was an admittedly sweet gesture but something didn't sit right with me. I wondered why the students greeting their teacher had to do so through a display of militaristic nationalism I wondered if that was the last dance the Moriori people saw before the Māori genocided them for their resources I wondered if the Māori danced like that as they ***** murdered, and cannibalized the Moriori. Wondering all of this made me ask myself: Why did they have to greet their teacher like that? The students wanted to make a big gesture which dancing is perfect for but dancing can also be vulnerable and embarrassing because people may mock how you express yourself but strangers at the airport are less likely to laugh at you if you're doing a synchronized dance with a group of people and the dancing is recognizably tied to national identity because then it's a culturally rich dance you're a xenophobe for laughing at and that's what nationalism is: strength in numbers and a readymade identity in lieu of an individual personality oftentimes for the sake of pistanthrophobia. So as I read the circlejerking comments on the post I wondered what the difference is between a Māori war dance and a **** salute I guess the Māori people have experienced more oppression than Nazis but nationalism is nationalism and those who have oppressed are oppressors and many who are oppressed would gladly be oppressors given the chance. Nationalism isn't healthy for culture and often isolates people from other cultures that are all combining due to globalization which people fight to preserve their little dances and costumes so we can stay in eternal conflict over delusions of supremacy when the only nationality should be a global one.

Are not all of us human? Do not each one of us bleed? Despite race or religion, gender, colour or creed. Does ones nationality, ****** orientation, Or ones disability Make them less of a person? Are not all of us children, Some ones daughter or son? Does not each one of us mean So very much to someone? We are all so different So unique and wonderful Who have from the first moment Lived our lives to the full.   Can one life be more precious? Mean less than any other? What gives any one of us The right to **** another? No, nothing can justify Killing of our fellow man No matter how hard we try Not one of us really can For life is a gift given Not by either you or I It is not our decision Who should live and who should die. Who are we to pass judgement On how other people live? We must be more tolerant, Must learn to live and let live

Concrete full of blood Skies, smoke-filled clouds Poison, don't you see INDUCING VOMITING Of every freedom you hold Incubators, landfills For Food deserts Soul Scavengers Bullet and knife showers Parentless parents Starving children Hotbeds for addiction Metropolises Harvesting humans like ants Where democracy manufactures Oppressed consumers out of the masses Majority starving for death Poison, don't you see INDUCING VOMITING Of every freedom you hold Those borders you revere Hijacking your body and mind Legislating no burning of the flag Where they clean their blood-drenched hands on Can you tell what side your on When you agree, they hold a different nationality When can there be actual solidarity? Profets of freedom, alienating OUR power to be When in doctrine, legislature, and policy Hierarchizing who deserves to be free In contempt, not compliance In pain, not numb Reactive, not inactive Burning, boiling, shivering Out of injustice Poison, don't you see INDUCING VOMITING Of every freedom you hold How can you keep suffering, When you face the truth

*** Crime.
A lot of people try to say That people act so differently Based on their gender, their birthday, Their race, their nationality And every time we think we've changed We find that it's perennial Same little boxes rearranged What's up with these millennials? We all say "We are not like you!" They all say "You are not like us!" This is something that we all do Predictable, ubiquitous But one day, we'll be seen as one There will be no one else to blame And they will look at what we've done And say that we are all the same

I am British, But I don’t feel English. I’ve lived in France for manny years, But I don’t feel French. I have traveled to different places, I can’t seem to find my home. The truth is, I do know where it is. It’s all around me, Everywhere I go. The world is my house. We are all from the same place, We are all worth the same. Why does my nationality confines me? Why does it define me? To explore the rooms in my house, I have to ask for permission to enter. I can’t stay in my kitchen, As I have be cooking for to long. I can’t return to my garden, As I have already been there twice. I am waiting to see my living room, But I am still being refused. I am stuck in my bedroom, But I want to change rooms. Stop telling me to go back home. This is my country, This is your country, This is our country. We should all have the right, Equally to explore our house, Without being refused. By Coco 07

I am a Muslim, not a terrorist. Don‘t judge me because of my religion. Don‘t judge us all the same. My religion teaches me peace. My religion teaches me love. It tells me to show compassion, not what you think of us. I have only one request. That I‘d kindly wish you to look beyond the hate and hurt, and see Muslims are just like you. Peaceful. Loving. Caring. We have families too. Terrorizing and vandalizing isn‘t Islam heritage. Muslim, Catholic, Atheist, yellow, black, white, men, women and children. We are all born to this world for a purpose. We are in a world full of discrimination, based on our religion, color, nationality and gender. Yet, they propagate Islam with a bad image, wich is a huge damage. They call me terrorist, they call me danger. I‘m feeling like a stranger. Remember, there is only one world and it is all for us. We Muslims are the holders of peace, we spread love. Why am I being represented by their false actions? They say that they are Muslims and they say, they stand for Islam. If they are Muslims, their actions would show it. Muslims stand in prayer. Shoulder to shoulder, to stop the devil winning. A terrorist kills someone and Muslims are blamed, a Christian kills someone and he‘s just a ****** Violence is not Islam. Terrorists are not Muslims. Alhamdullilah I am Muslim. -Nura

Not a terrorist
I woke up and the sun is shining, majestically emitting its golden glow. In spite of this, it's a cold Scandinavian morning and boy, the sun is putting up a real show. So what's really going on here I asked, why am I not yet sweating profusely? Why am I not yet drenched in sweat and sunbaked, Or is the arid heat being turned on slowly? By birth, I was born a Liberian, a true African, my umbilical cord was buried near the Equator. My nationality is Norwegian, a Scandinavian By virtue of the winter, I always feel like a visitor. The African sun would shine until we hide or run just to avoid the scorching heat and humidity. The Scandinavian sun I feel shines and people have fun, A factor to make me question the sun's true nationality. So is it the same sun that rises at about 5 am in Ghana, The one that shines brightly on the vaults of the Ashanti gold? If it's the sun worshiped by Ancient Egypt, of the sun god Akana, So why doesn't it burn away the snow and the extreme cold? ©️IB-Poetry 2/20/2018

The Nationality Of The Sun
I wonder why we define boundaries The LOC's, The island, The territories Do we ever understand our existence? Do we ever question our existence? Intrigues my mind these thoughts ever Reasons my thoughts over and over Do we really think we are big? Do we really exist the way we think? Andromeda being our neighbor in many Thousands of these galaxies surround us Milky way is one such in plenty.. One dot is our planet Unique, beautiful, lively, colorful.. Colors are recent addition not too old though.. The time when existing boundaries were drawn Colors and flowers too were born.. Do we believe we created colors? Do we really believe we created boundaries?? We fight for territories We define continents We be so proud of countries Our existence, Our proud, Our nationality, our Identity, Do we feel we exist because of countries?? Do we really feel we are nothing beyond countries?? Religion, Ethnicity, Culture, Color, Do animals have it too?? Sentinelese, Jarawa, Onge tribes Living in archipelago of Andaman & Nicobar for 60,000 years, Who are these people living in tribes? Which religion do they belong? What language do they speak? How without fire do they survive? Do we still think we exist because of names given by us? Do we still doubt our Creator? To bound self in boundaries is sin Sin against the Creator Sin against the Soul Sin against the humanity Sin against belief of life.. To partition our nations is to belittle the Greatness of His Who created us, who created universe Who created "Himself" to keep our belief.. Continents, Rich, Poor, Oldest civilisation, Countries, Big, Small Are these parameters to be proud of? If we observe us from the top of universe We will be a fly or a microorganism They may name us Earthica humane Do we have to fight for land and land marks? Do we still have to divide the mother Earth? Is it not high time we rise and decide? United we make our Earth unique Souls wander the whole universe But to live they decend on Earth Can we not be proud of planet as a whole? No boundaries do us part Can we not end the hatred forever? Bringing peace, solace and love as treasure!!

Praise the Creator!
I wonder why we define boundaries The LOC's, The island, The territories Do we ever understand our existence? Do we ever question our existence? Intrigues my mind these thoughts ever Reasons my thoughts over and over Do we really think we are big? Do we really exist the way we think? Andromeda being our neighbor in many Thousands of these galaxies surround us Milky way is one such in plenty.. One dot is our planet Unique, beautiful, lively, colorful.. Colors are recent addition not too old though.. The time when existing boundaries were drawn Colors and flowers too were born.. Do we believe we created colors? Do we really believe we created boundaries?? We fight for territories We define continents We be so proud of countries Our existence, Our proud, Our nationality, our Identity, Do we feel we exist because of countries?? Do we really feel we are nothing beyond countries?? Religion, Ethnicity, Culture, Color, Do animals have it too?? Sentinelese, Jarawa, Onge tribes Living in archipelago of Andaman & Nicobar for 60,000 years, Who are these people living in tribes? Which religion do they belong? What language do they speak? How without fire do they survive? Do we still think we exist because of names given by us? Do we still doubt our Creator?

I was told to write down my identity a neat sheet of paper that would briefly explain me I pondered a while attempting to identify a few key moments of my history Do I tell of the immigrant? or the miracle child? do I speak of depression and how I so rarely smiled? Should I tell you about the language I so rarely spoke for fear of fitting a stereotype: the terrorist trope. Shall I explain hypomania? and how I couldn't sleep? and how the monsters I dreamt of into my conscious peripheral would creep? How I couldn't seek help until I was almost twenty-one because in my parents' culture mental illness doesn't exist. My parents were Palestenian refugees in Lebanon- but that's their story not mine, right? They were married for seventeen years before they had me. They tried to have children almost from day one- but that's their story not mine, right? Finally they immigrated to Canada for a million procedures that would give them a baby. After six years of treatment, a random obscure procedure worked and I was a bun in the oven- but that's their story not mine, right? nine months later I was born. I was a miracle baby and the "light of their life." so they named me light: "Noor." I was born at North York General with a priviledge my parents never dared dream: Canadian. Safe. Not a refugee. They had someplace that they'd send me for university. With our new, safe nationality at forty days old I was taken to the UAE I was raised on Western books and Western TV raised with ideas that just didn't fit in a muslim family (at least my family is liberal, unlike the UAE) I haven't scratched the surface of who I am and depending on the pieces I tell I haven't scratched the surface of all that I could be what I choose to write is how you will read me.

Arise then...women of this day! Arise, all women who have hearts! Whether your baptism be of water or of tears! Say firmly: "We will not have questions answered by irrelevant agencies, Our husbands will not come to us, reeking with carnage, For caresses and applause. Our sons shall not be taken from us to unlearn All that we have been able to teach them of charity, mercy and patience. We, the women of one country, Will be too tender of those of another country To allow our sons to be trained to injure theirs." From the voice of a devastated Earth a voice goes up with Our own. It says: "Disarm! Disarm! The sword of ****** is not the balance of justice." Blood does not wipe our dishonor, Nor violence indicate possession. As men have often forsaken the plough and the anvil At the summons of war, Let women now leave all that may be left of home For a great and earnest day of counsel. Let them meet first, as women, to bewail and commemorate the dead. Let them solemnly take counsel with each other as to the means Whereby the great human family can live in peace... Each bearing after his own time the sacred impress, not of Caesar, But of God - In the name of womanhood and humanity, I earnestly ask That a general congress of women without limit of nationality, May be appointed and held at someplace deemed most convenient And the earliest period consistent with its objects, To promote the alliance of the different nationalities, The amicable settlement of international questions, The great and general interests of peace.

So it would seem, the only difference twixt Animal Behavior and Human Behavior is a capacity for written and spoken Language. - ---Epilogue-- According to various 'dictionaries,' the word "anthrocentric" doesn't exist. I, however, define it as the same principals of sexism, ethnocentrism, or nationalism, but applied to the perception of a validated stratification of Human Beings over the entirety of the Web of Life, rather than to simply the *** ethnicity or nationality of another. I feel the natural world around us is far more sacred than we are- although we are spawned of it. I feel it is so much more sacred due to an absent respect for it and the other beings which it hosts so well; so selflessly. We **** Sapiens Sapiens* have defiled our own sanctity via lack of respect for ourselves, let alone others Beings; Human, and otherwise. Apparently, that isn't very popular. So many Egos would rather depend on intentionally small sample sizes, while many Ids would rather self-preclude the challenge of self-observation fore a mere and fleeting (most likely destructive) comfort. I venture to say that is a present form of cowardice.

Anthrocentric Bias
~ Ivory-teal ruffled his parochial feathers His tongue dipped in languages He wanted to learn the pronunciation of life As he folded himself in Egyptian ink He opened his mind against the dioramic surface of syllables Painted in alloy; dripping from a papery canvas He brushed his ivory creme feathers in crimson and lavender hieroglyphics Bleeding their pictorial valor inside a golden sepia lantern "Go on, light the world with your suspense and mystery" Ivory-teal twittered to himself Wrapping the bijoux night around his little body he disappeared into the stars The teal birthmark on his forehead; glowing He took the lantern in his gold beak fluttering away into spirals of smoke Toward Mythology mountain Where a storm of butterflies were winging their seasonal weather Ivory-teal sometimes wished he could be a candle flame Flickering in the darkest of moments Letting the sunshine bleed through his beautiful feathers and soft skin But his destiny was a bit different He was folded in cultural prophetic proverbs and sewed neatly in parabolic traditions Where nationality is mixed into colorful pixels inside skin Accents are curved in throats and lilted on the edge of tongues Ivory-teal was carved in diamond flex dreams In a temple of mythical patterns Imprinted in mercury cocoons laminated with knowledge The Angel Apostles printed him in their book of Dreamtales Where he became a bilingual silhouette He was birthed right here on this mountain As he balanced himself on thoughts He had learned to love himself to this point of his life He wanted to be the change he wanted in the world He gently lifted the little lantern It rose up toward the sun and exploded into rainbow fireworks The contexts that were inside split sideways Tilting and pressing themselves into the air particles If birds could smile then that would've been Ivory-teal As he laughed quietly "Now breathe in earthlings, breath in the wonders and knowledge of life" He then spread his gorgeous ivory creme wings tattooed with all the languages of the world and life itself He twirled into the sunset and bled himself in a cloud A mountaineer had been watching and wondered to himself As he unknowingly breathed in the context from Ivory-teal's lantern "If flying is a language I would love to learn and speak it with my wings" But shouldn't he know that language already For it is the language of freedom Ivory-teal is one of many symbolic accents Of that beautiful language ~
