In Charles Bukowski’s poem,” Dinosauria, we”, he expresses his thoughts on society and how the world will end up if humans continue on their path that they are currently traveling on. He presents very interesting ideas about the human population being born into a world that is full of cruel behavior. This behavior includes hospitals bill that are impossible to pay as well as death, disinheritance, violence and drugs. Bukowski exposes his thoughts on the terrible future that will befall on society. He states that radiated men will eat one another’s flesh for survival…I do not know if humans will one day resort to cannibalism for survival but everything else that he writes about in his poem has already happened. There have been explosions that shook the earth during wars, jails are already full and crimes go unpunished because of the connections that people have, there have been a handful of oil spills that have killed fish and ruined water, plants, and beaches, and lawyers charge the common man unreasonable prices that it is indeed cheaper to plead guilty. So, is Bukowski right about the future if most of the things that he has written about are already happening in society? Bukowski’s ideas may seem a tad bit outrageous today but the future of our society can take a turn for the worst at any moment. As sad as it may seem, the world’s ending may come sooner than expected due to the greediness of humans.
