Covid-19 is a virus that eliminated 3.54 million people. Panama TR4 disease is promising to eliminate more than that. The difference is the target: Bananas.

There will be no bananas like today in the year 2030, maybe earlier.

What is Panama TR4?

Panama disease tropical race 4 (Panama TR4) is an aggressive disease that likes bananas. It is caused by a fungus that lives within the soil and is effectively spread by the development of contaminated banana plants and planting fabric and sullied soil and water. The organism voyages up the stem squares the tissues that carry water and supplements, and in the long run, slaughters the plant. Individuals, apparatus, and creatures can spread the illness.

Humanity first acknowledged this disease in Australia, the late ’90s. So why we couldn’t end it after 20 years? The answer is, I do not know, I am just a writer.

The banana in your smoothie

The banana you put in your smoothie is the almighty, Cavendish. The banana industry’s favorite banana is, Cavendish. Panama tr4’s coziest host cell is, Cavendish. 

Even if you are the fungus that no one cares about, you still want to chase the most favorite.  We as humanity seeking excellence and want the best,  unlimited hunger for the material and limited resources in favor, could we find happiness in any way? Could we stop judging every aspect of our lives and others? When we will start perceiving over fantasizing about taking control over every being? Or did we took control already?

I feel an itch on my legs…

What is happening?

OH NO!

KAFKA DID IT FIRST

-HEY mum look Corona!

+I never saw an ever disgusting creature before, stay away son!

-Mommmaaa! what are we gonna do? I am scared hüüüü…

+I swear ı am going to call the police, stay where you are you disturbing little virus!

Virus my ass. I am Fungi Zekeriya!!! I am here to tell you some stuff…

WHY?

Hatred for humanity has brought me here. I have never felt more ease than this before, simply ı am not a piece of monstrous-race called humanity anymore, ı am a Panama TR4.

This is what happens when you recklessly attack the nature you live in, the air you breathe is polluted and your system is corrupted.

Selfishness created capitalism, society approved it. One of the world’s most income-gatherer cashflow activities is the Banana businesses. Consider me an anarchist, but not one in Kadıköy who screams for equality, rather killing a living being completely.

My name is Fungi Zekeriya, acknowledge me.

Your grandma told you the truth

Haven’t your grandma told you before, the grass was greener and the banana is tastier?

That was right, my grandma Fusarium Wilt, finished all of those bananas. Those bananas were called Gros Michel, and legend told that it is tastier than my dear darling, Cavendish.

HA HA HA

You will be punished for your dirty deeds human… One by one…

THE LAST RIDE

(Fungi Zekeriya magically transformed back to his human form).

This my last writing on Mozart Cultures. I am not finished yet.

I really want to be more optimistic and hopeful about the future, but current situations ultimately lead me to despair. Even when we learn that doing banana commerce is helping everyone in that job, we get punished. You can say, God, Mother Nature, Odin, curse, or anything. The system ultimately regulates itself to find a balance. That’s why a Fungus appeared out of nowhere. We consume so much that the supply factor could not reach our demands. Even when someone says they will not consume much and starts to be more ‘minimalistic’ as an ideal, it still consumes so much effort to useless. Self-help gurus are literally everywhere and they want only one thing, your money. In that way, they can consume more by teaching you to consume less. What a paradox!

Every single occupation that is coming in our way is our fault. We, humans, created all of this and it is impossible to stop at this rate.  We are doomed. I felt such relief when I was in Panama TR4 form. I shouldn’t be so negative, right? All right then, I will do some Netflix and Chill.

Thank you for reading my content. Let me stand to treat you a banana in 10 years, if possible.
