New World Order

Always abstaining from alleviating waste
self absorbed parasites, glaring like cagey snakes,
like incurable thieves of our hearts
victimize our subsistence like a loose lover.

Startled by sudden apparition,
uneasy through joblessness,
our countrymen's lackadaisical carriage converts
the smut of scuttlebutt, becoming like mortar.

They command love, command respect.
Alas, angry voices fall upon deaf ears.
We emerge laughable in our poverty.
The leviathan triumphantly pens our journal.

"The world is seemingly full of disconnected crises, but Rob Kall begs to differ. An exceptional pattern thinker, he connects a range of contemporary challenges through a framework of bottom-up solutions in a world dominated by top-down thinking. Mining extensive interviews with thought leaders and exploring an eclectic mix of leading-edge ideas, Bottom-Up describes a variety of latent and emergent characteristics of an evolutionary paradigm shift that's changing the world. Whether your focus is in business, leadership, activism, or organizations, Kall offers a practical conceptual map and toolset to engage the planetary evolution taking place all around us. If you want to make a difference and need inspiration for how to participate in this global transformation, there is plenty in this book to draw from."
