In My Land ...



The paper each day reads of people committing homicide with their children for the unbearable pain rendered by the monster of hunger gnawing at their famished bellies, and yet there are stories of the law Minister Babar chartering planes to bribe the affuluent lawyers

It is heart wrenching, painful and absolutely ABSURD!


Hunger, scarcity staring blankly in the face of the lavish yeast
The barren masses severing off sprouts, the barons having feast
Is it the hunger or the rich leech, the greater beast?
Whilst Babar ba aish kosh keh aalaam dobara neest!

A heartbreaking truth.
So much pain, so much injustice, loads of selfishness - a world dominated by materialism.

But things are changing, we are moving back to our routs, we are starting to remember who we are.

A very poignant post.

Gabriela,
Materialism of the day has grown from a haunting demon to a cannibal monster .... I hope we evolve soon, for there are only two options: Evolution or Extinction!

Best.
