Different World Day 16



It hadn’t rained in months which saw the rising seas ebb away. This was good as farmers reclaimed the land but it was death to the last seeds that were sown in vain. Crops were failing to grow on the parched unfertile spit of land that once was bursting with life. The last chance had been and gone. It was time to look at other resources to feed the people. The people had stripped all from what the land had to offer from energy to animal to mineral to vegetable. Now there was only one resource left for survival . . . . . . . to stem the hunger . . . . . . . and it was human.

  2. That was really good, poignant, and should make us think a bit more about how we treat the earth. Though the final sentiment is scarier than the Zombie Apocalypse!

    1. I know; apparently it's been proven in some documentary how soon the human race will turn on itself. Scary indeed. x
