Understanding trade war motive: A non-poem

Writer's picture: Lalit KishoreLalit Kishore

NON-POEM

In the tense trade-war scenario

Those who suffer the most are

Workers, women 'n children

Since it’s the rich and the powerful men

Who have waged new divisive class conflicts

Threatening the inner-n-international peace

 

Those who control power

They have become ruthless -

Hard-wired heartless money-minded bunch

By creating hype of extreme protectionism

 

It's the common people's money

That has been grabbed

'N now being plundered by

The rich and powerful

To become more rich

By waging trade war

'N making common people helpless sufferers

 

The consumerist-traders lobby

Now is out to grab power

Through divisive practices

By creating societal conflicts of

Class, creed, gender, culture, dress codes 'n nationality

 

Privatisation is being hard pushed

Digital economy is being forced upon -

Controlled by the rich -

It is being institutionalized through

Common people's money

That's being plundered

Though paid for governing well the social security system -

Welfare driven education, health and post-retirement cover

 

Trade war hype

Created by the rich-n-powerful is

To crush commoners-n-workers

To create a hopeless-n-helpless plight

Through recipient-provider relationships

By controlling-n-dehumanising everything -

By commoditizing everything -

Education, health, economy, media, work-life, social life

 

New crony breed of rulers -

Dehumanized trade-warriors -

Drunk with wealth

Have taken control to turn everything -

Including humans -

'N turned them into commodities

Beware!
