Is this the end of Globalisation
The rise of Nationalism to the fore, 
Will we soon be partitioned
And, disunited even more.

Each nation now independent 
There’s little care for the other, 
Everyone vying and desperately 
To become the Bigger Brother.

Build walls and erect fences 
To keep people away,
Hold those that are yours 
In your dominant sway.

Is progress going backwards 
With the build-up of arms, 
Forgotten forever
The old world of charms.

When sharing was all 
With harmony around, 
In being friendly lay
A philosophy, profound.
 
United Nations is the assembly
Of the disunited of the world, 
It calls for Unity
As more flags are unfurled.

Are we moving from II
To a WW III,
The heavens seem to think
Well yes, Maybe!
