Wasteland
Like the dead fossils of the once tyrannic dinosaurs laid bare into the diminishing soils of the earth, is what the aging world appears to seem like, the battle for survival pride and honour from the unforgiving climate changes in the vast savanna amongst living creatures to the vast cities, towns, villages etc of we humans striving hard to make ebds meet to survive and be more functional and efficient is such a difficult task to fulfill every passing day and night. How unfortunate can one be to succumb to the misfortunes of this cruel world whiles another's lucky charm becomes his ticket to a good gift to success from one sitting and soending the fortunes left by a family member without going through the mill to another working day and night through blood, sweat and toil in order to reap the benefits of fortunes he worked for, this is the sarcastic nature of the world. It's hilarious how money can purchase the authoritative powers of this world but in the end, that's the sad truth, maybe if the existence of the object of money was non-existent in this life, how interesting the world would look, just think about it. Cruelty and injustice are like two siblings of destruction that slitther like the snakes of Medusa, from time immemorial till now, people have experienced insurmountable pains of torture at the hands of wicked oppressors, discrimination, rape, harassment etc. all occuring in the cruel world with no form of justice to be granted to these innocent victims, talk about George Floyd, Brianna Taylor and others like the flipping pages of a novel.So the million dollar question is asked, "When will all these stop, from a student to a lecturer and the lecturer is like" Well if only I had all the answers to this question, " and breathes a sigh of calm and silence like the" quiet place" where a frequency of sound is a pool of trouble to the individual as he or she will be killed, at least the Oppenheimer tried to find all the solutions to the problems facing humanity scientifically and had some success. The idea of making the world a better place to live in is always a difficult task to undertake, at least the "Mad Max saga" gives a fair reality of how the world would look like with all these wars and conflicts happening around us, the ability to make an effort to make this world a dreamland to live in is something that needs recommendation, of course the world is not fair and it's unfortunate this world can sometimes be a wasteland where nothing grows.
