The Desert

I like to rave on about pointless stuff. Write about nothing in particular and see where it goes. My pointless futile raves on “Just another wordpress blog” will hardly matter. Yet I will write. Although it will be nothing new. Same old complains. Sugar crisis, power shortage, corruption, unemployment.. On and on it goes.  So many problems and all of them stemming from one common crisis. The crisis of character, that has it’s roots in famine and drought.

A lone man walks the desert. The vultures that fly above him keep their eyes fixed. Waiting for the moment he stumbles and falls on the ground. Waiting do devour every inch of meat from him. An oasis is usually a mirage and if he does find one, he has to battle the beasts for a single sip of water. People in the caravans survive and those who walk alone perish. Dacoits rule the land and all are at their mercy. This is the scenario when a man has nothing to eat, nothing to drink and no safe haven to sleep. Such is the unforgiving nature of the desert.

And such is the nature of our land…
