Poem
It's the High Cost of Living better known as the High Cost of Inflation! It is not just the rising cost of gasoline! It is the high cost of meat, groceries and other items! Including the high cost of going to restaurants. My home care worker went to buy me something at Taco Bell! Inside of the fast food restaurant, customers were fighting! Fighting because there were not enough employees to handle their customers! She was shocked and so was I! One of my friends of a friend went to Red Robin with one of her friends! They ordered fish and chips and it cost them about one hundred dollars on a so-called special! Is it the fault of either Taco Bell or Red Robin? Of course not! Number one: According to a debunked mandatory vaccination policy, either become vaccinated or lose your jobs! Multitudes of people panicked and instead of losing their jobs minus any unemployment! They decided their jobs were not worth it when they could otherwise collect unemployment! Many military and first res-ponders also voted with their feet! Instead of getting dishonorably discharged! Why not honorably resign instead! And Joe Biden claimed to care about our military and our country! He speaks with a forked tongue! In other words, HE LIED! Employers are begging for employees every where and not just in the fast food industries! My Chinese American friend's manager drives two hundred and eighty miles just to get to work! Her assistant manager also has to drive many miles. Her co-workers are leaving and finding jobs closer to home with more money! In Europe the vaccinated are being pitted against the unvaccinated! Resulting in civil unrest and civil warfare! It seems as if the COVID-19 is not only a global pandemic, it is also dismantling our societies and not just economically! But also socially and politically as well! At least in the USA the Christians are mobilizing and benefiting their local communities. Right along side other highly motivated and concerned people! Now is the time we need to be working together for the good of our countries and not just our own self centered interests! The faith based communities need to focus upon Jesus Christ for their answers to their perplexities instead of mankind! Once they reach the answers to their problems, they can teach others as well! It is okay to get angry and it is only human to complain! But actions speak much louder than words! And the pen is mightier than the sword! Roxanne Lea Dubarry November 20, 2021
