21 st century

Seeing many emergencys..Here; there are mere
Mortals playing with portals.' Cash-less
 econmys intended to bring? adversitys, and 
dogem cars abound' its just different badges of bling.'
Plan-demics strike, and wars that ravage far
Congress's and parliements so savage'
Always playing it fast 
and
Loose.' spend-thrifting-their economies and, being misely on the truth.'
No pit of depravity eludes most of them
 at all.' And indeed they wallow; if in one
 extra; they might fall.? Meanwhile
There are billions to
Sqander? yet just who's to pay it all.?

Well, Joe i agree things could gett better, my friend, but i take great solace in the fact that the Black Plague was three times worse than COVID-19, so things are getting better....and mom always said, in times of stress or pain, a dollop of humor will keep the tea kettle from whistling...acceptance and faith are the key to watching, As the World Turns

Hopefully what happened in Russia is not another biological weapon escape -- and then Russia will do what China did, gift it to the rest of world, so its rivalries are left just as damaged when the epidemic spores calm down. What the heck, a few more millions dead -- too many anyway. Total evil in charge of Socialist nations. And the UK, France, US etc., want to experiment with Socialism. Universities producing complete political morons.

Now who can know ? And I get nothing ftom God on this.! All blessings.)
