THE WORLD-SOUL

It was 1944
In the White Mountains
Of New Hampshire.
The U.S. Dollar
Was Confirmed as the Planet’s
Reserve Currency.

WWII was Ending
Empires were in disarray
While their Colonies
Demanded Independence -
America’s domination ever assured
By the World Bank and the IMF.

Much of the World was indebted
To the USA; Japan and Germany
Were soon Occupied
Little England Emasculated
And only Russia Remained
To Threaten U.S. hegemony.

Oil
The World’s Essential commodity
Denominated
In the Almighty Dollar
Ensured that Nations invested
In the U.S. Piggy Bank.

750 Global Military Bases
Funded by Foreign purchase
Of U.S. Treasuries
Maintains Our Dominion still
While Globalization Impresses
The Market’s Logic on alien Lands.

But The End of History
Is not the Triumph of the West.
Instead, the World will soon be
Purged of the Yankee Dollar
And the U.S. Impaled
On the Central Asian Axis.

China and the Russian Bear
Have arisen
To rival the Hegemon
And the Global South is
At last Restored
As the World-Soul.
