Intercontinental insights.

Intercontinental insights.
=================
What is soil but a place,
To live in and work with.
Higher education and employment
Are more airborne today, than ever.
Career is an intercontinental carrier.
The universe is getting shrunk more,
As its beings move farther and faster.
The wider one travels, the closer the globe is.
The passion for progress crosses continents.
Some gain experience and energy.
Some lose their threads and roots.
Greater civilizations are those
That kill racial and religious interiors.
The making up of a single race
Can uproot man's soil moorings,
By mixing up food, drinks and clothes.
As the colors of life change for a new style
The colors of the mind change one's profile.
But the body like the soil is just a background,
When the mind changes its colors the body is buried.
So is the soil by all that grows on it.
Both the soil and the body are exploited zones,
Frequently getting tampered with.by pressures,
Painted on them by the passing occupancy patterns.

Far from these,there are some who never cross barriers,
But stay stuck to their soil,expanding scopes all the while;
With their mind, that matches its myriad colors to the body,
And their thoughts and ways of life, as stable sensors,
They embrace the bulk of mankind with a sublime hug.
Like plants absorbing water and carbon dioxide,
Like seers seeing gods from with in,
From where they are,they have the continents drawn to them.
We call them cosmopolitans and humanitarians.
