The globalization of ideas
The globalization of industries
The globalization of economies
Economies of scale
The scales of trivialization
The trivialization of individuals
Individuals caught up in a massive undertaking
The economic advantages of competing on a global scale
In an effort to maximize the economic leverage
Of vertically integrated companies
Attaining economic advantages
On a global scale
A scale of globalization,
The globalization of cultures
The globalization of religions
The globalization of languages
The common denominators of people,
People reduced to their lowest common denominators
The evaporations of differentiations
Offices without walls
Countries without borders
People without identities
The globalization of cultural identities
The globalization of artistic sensibilities
The globalization of global societies
The globalization of globalization

Author Notes
This poem uses repetitions of words and an emotionless phrasing to depict the methodical, mechanical business model that erases individualism and the uniqueness of cultures in order to create a business model where people are reduced to a means to an end, and simple consumers supporting the money making machines. It is a lament on the destruction of the unique traits that make up the diversified world we used to live in. And in the end, the pursuit of this globalization proves meaningless. In a world where the pursuit of wealth has become a religion, and consumerism a culture, I think this kind of music, if you can call it that, fits estory
