I believe that Charles Bukowski's writing “Dinosauria, We” depicts the present and the future of our world in a very precise way. Some of us might be living in suitable situations today, but there are others out there who are struggling to just survive. It might not impact us now, but all the problems we are ignoring today will eventually catch up to us and destroy our feelings of tranquility. The peace that we know now will be gone and the values that we hold on to today will be challenged.
Some examples that Charles Bukowski uses is that it is cheaper to die than to go the hospital, cheaper to plead guilty than to hire a lawyer, and a place where fools will be elevated into rich heroes. All these examples that he gives is a result that people are getting more greedy and selfish everyday. We take money for ourselves but we give nothing back. The fact that we charge so much money for a simple service is that we are doing it for ourselves rather than trying to help others out.
All the wars and the overuse of the earth’s resources will lead to destruction of our world. Everything we know now will die eventually and Charles Bukowski vividly describes this in his writing.
