This world has sold or is offering to sell Napoleon’s sword for $6.4 million, values a secretary desk by the Goddard & Townsend Families at $11.4 million, an 18th century badminton cabinet at $28.8 million, a collection of writings by Leonardo da Vinci was sold for $30.8 million, and a 1740 gold embellished vase for $80.2 million, and they say the offers are because of the history attached.
Talking about history, isn't it ironic that this is the same world that is unwilling to make history by creating a global community that will not fail millions of poor women and children like that 13 year-old Kenyan kid that collects rubbish at the dump in Korogocho slum to survive, and to support her family and sick mother? Yet we call ours an era of "global progress" - can you imagine, with millions of children left behind?
But isn't it a world where Mia Khalifa act-alike ladies will dress all modest on Fridays, act all holier-than-you-and-I, asking folks to repent because the end is near, only to turn back into their former state and practices, soon as night falls, and of men who'll chant "Subhanallah" because they've seen some skin or cleveage, but have the largest collection of porn in recorded history?
But, maybe I should shut the phuk up because unfortunately, when my status improves, I am afraid that like the rest, I wouldn't be able to see the things I am seeing today; it's the world we live in that is no longer interested in anything without a curse behind it.
