The U.S. hunger crisis is not over. ~

Food prices rise, the people despair Of long lines of vehicles for miles Overwhelmed by need Desperation tires their minds Linda, single Mom, grips steering wheel Inwardly asks, "How did I get here?" Never thought it would happen to her family Empathic food bank volunteers load her trunk Sobering all-season snapshot of the U.S.

Well. Once our government succeeds in starving us, then not only censoring us, including schools and organizations, the forces us to buy the climate change hoax, and wear masks, what is left, simple answer,….COMMUNISM. things are expensive yes. However in this admin,,anyone can get Food Stamps. Even those working. Freeloaders bid in the USA.. churches do help people. Unless we get rid of Biden, we will not only have less food, but no rights and no country. Pangie xxx

A sad reality, Regina. We have priced ourselves right out of living. The American dream now consists of food and shelter instead of a lavish lifestyle, necessities not luxuries.

Hi Daniel, a sobering commentary on life in the U.S. for many people. I don't know when it's ever going to get "better." Thank you so much for taking the time to read and comment on my acrostic. ~
