Today's Global Citizens Poem by Savita Tyagi
Today's Global Citizens
Talk big, act small
That is what today's global citizens are.
In a market driven economy
Profits supersede all values.
Universities preach global citizenship
Governments bent upon building walls.
Schools but give multicultural message where
Children are forbidden from native tongue usage.
Idealist and moderates talk of open borders
Conservatives want to bar immigrant workers.
‘World Is A Family' a noble phrase
Commerce turned it all into disgrace.
Businesses are becoming mutually dependent
Individuals are becoming lonely and subservient.
Lost is sincere humanity in a time broken value system.
Watching the upheaval of old and new tectonic plates.
Citizens should act more than talking but reverse is happening at present. You have keenly observed every social affair and brilliantly penned this poem. Sincere humanity is lost and this provokes thought. From every corner this is an excellent poem...10

Unfortunately people talk of great things! But do their actions ever comply with the rhetoric they make! We see money and wealth stealing the prime concern not only in a society but in the whole of global community! A very true and never an exaggerated picture of modern societyty!
