They will kill the fetus in the mother's womb, men will marry men and women will marry women. The heroes will be murdered and the wise persecuted

They will feed the cows with meat, the farmers will leave the countryside and become workers. Many will not have a job and will have to beg. Thieves will become kings, and kings will be thieves. The rulers will confiscate the property and use it dishonestly. They will cease to protect the people.

Men of lower social classes who have acquired a certain amount of knowledge (without having the virtues necessary to use it) will be esteemed as wise. Many people will lose their roots and wander from one country to another. Predatory animals will be more violent. People will prefer to choose wrong ideas, no one will be able to trust anyone. People will be envious.

There will be many children who will be born with a life expectancy of no more than 16 years. People suffering from hunger and fear will find refuge in underground shelters. Young girls will trade in their virginity. The merchants will do dishonest business.

There will be a lot of beggars and jobless people. People will speak violent and vulgar language. Men will devote themselves to making money, and the richest will hold power. Heads of state will no longer protect the people, but, with taxes, will appropriate all the wealth. Water will run out.

The present age is also called the age of deterioration.

In relation to the three ages which preceded it, the present age, the age of kali, the iron age, the black age or dark age, is considered to be the age of deterioration, because only a quarter of religious principles remain. This age of decadence will be continually diminished by the constantly growing principles of irreligion (the four pillars of which are; lies, violence, dissatisfaction and strife), atheism, and will ultimately be destroyed.

Throughout the Iron Age, people will be greedy, rude, ruthless, and fight each other for no good reason. Unhappy and obsessed with material desires, the human beings of this dark age will almost all come from the lowest social class, that of workers, craftsmen, artists, and will be like barbarians.

When there is a predominance of cheating, lying, laziness, drowsiness, violence, depression, lamentation, bewilderment, fear and poverty, we are in iron age, the age when the mode of influence is ignorance.

Due to the bad qualities of the Kali Age or Iron Age, human beings will become short-sighted, unhappy, gluttonous, lustful (which has an excessive fondness for carnal pleasures, lust), and stricken with poverty. Women, become shameless, will roam freely from one man to another.
