The world as a single coin . . .
Forgetting their historical sources
The land,forest,field,
Garden, Estate,Stone,Sand,Mountain
One by one got
Transformed as hot cash.
State, city, village, ward
Street, house, porch
As images of wealth
In exchange bargains.
Mills, Shops, Schools, Colleges
Under calculation and assessment of
Their prices
Lower or Higher.
Nuclear reactors, Ammunition,
Rockets, Machines, Gadgets,
Under the direct command of
Dollars, Euros, Rubles, Dinars, Rupees
In an unquenched thirst for blood
In estimates of corpses.
Sheep, Cattle, Horses,
Chicken, Sparrows, Pigs
And other things like these
Carrying the price-tags in their necks
Suggesting market trends
Alterations and corrections.
Forests of Elephants
Caves of Tigers and Lions
Deer, Rabbits,
Jungles,
Ants,ant-hills,Snakes
Profit motives have captured
All around
Flags of companies
Unfurling and rolling down
Aggressively.
With an artificial heart transplanted
Nature stumbles
In the feeble rhythm of its beating
Time is blinking quiet often.
Mankind, the offspring of
Adam and Eve
Have again become naked
While attempting to cover up
The Nakedness of Money.
Sold by money and
Purchased by money
The commodity, Humanism, is
Out of stock.
After loosing all its life
The world like a tossed coin
Revolves around the sun.
