The people who title
The world as a village
Mentioned...
' All the countries
on this globe are
like houses
in one village
and should have
their streets open'
In truth,
enormous walls
surround their cities
not allowing others to enter
claiming its for protection sake

I like your viewpoint. It is the loudest voices for globalization which defend their territories the most fiercely, I've no doubt. Just because someone says they desire something, does not make their true heart transparent.
