The Global Bazaar

The world has become a tighter
space inviting its residents
to migrate and blend, taking the
Orient to the Occident, where
once that traffic was turned in the
opposite direction. We are becoming 
occupied; the colonized people of 
the world have by gradual degrees 
turned back the trend as they have
achieved the confidence of
independence and now they bring
their culture and their still-exotic
presence to dilute the once
dominant cultures that denied
their sovereign entitlement to
self-government. The death of the
colonial era awakened an urge to
depart well-beloved soil for another
beckoning wholesale multitudes
to converge where once they were
seen as inferior material to help
form superior societies. The world
is still reinventing itself with a
colourful plurality of humankind
negating the desire to visit strange
new places since the strange has
ventured abroad; no longer strange.
