At The End Of The Next Decade
The earth mover sputters to a halt just short of the tree under which the last remaining tiger is meditating in a bid to attain salvation, because it runs out of the final drop of diesel on the planet. The irony makes some people smile, some weep gently while the rest of us continue to honk in the piling traffic jam.
Technology, the Beacon of Hope, the Ultimate Savior, the Guide to the New World, quivered because of a lack of blankets in a refugee camp in southern Botswana. Yesterday's hero is laughed at today because molestation has recently taken over as the largest social networking medium leaving Facebook far behind. More people died of electric shock by placing their tongue on a usb drive last year than the population of Australia. The final straw was when Nadal, completely frustrated with a foot fault caught by hawkeye, decided to not chase down every single ball that came his way. And still won.
Science, of course, had discreetly stolen Technology's blankets. And its toothpaste. Science was confined to no man's land after the religious fanatics used Heisenberg's uncertainty principle to prove that Science cannot find a person's soul. The last few staunch scientists decided to disprove the uncertainty principle and ran to Einstein for help - only to find him playing dice with God. All was finally lost when Science failed to answer the most fundamental question in all of life: do i look fat in this?
Religion, even though it won its little battles with Science, lost the war when God was shot dead by a evolutionist last Sunday during His midday siesta. At least that's what the Times reported. Much regret ensued. The fakir decided to finally shave his beard much to the relief of his wife. The joy was short-lived, however, when she realized that she had married the wrong man. The pontiff decided to get rid of his mitre but soon found out that there were six more of decreasing sizes one inside the other. Nobody has been able to figure out why. The religious fanatics, having no cause to fight over, took over the hip-hop scene. They even shot dead Kanye West when he interrupted one of their performances. It was a rare period of collective joy in the world.
The driver blows into the diesel tank of the earth mover, gives it a shake, tilts it a little bit and finally manages to start it. Then, the earth mover takes down the tree.
