Our Future

I wonder how we would act, I wonder what we would do? Imagine if our way of life was suddenly all through. What if our technology crashed and our communications were cut? Would we see the fall of civilization with mankind stuck in a rut? What happens when the oil is gone and our gas pumps all run dry? Can you even imagine, would you even want to try? There are far too many hungry, our old and even our youth. This world is overpopulated and that’s the simple truth. The fuel that runs our planet is depleting and this is true. Once it’s gone it’s gone and can never be renewed. Our brightest minds are on it trying to formulate a plan. Maybe we shouldn’t worry, just enjoy it while we can. Think of our future children as they suffer and they cry. They will live with the disappointment that we didn’t even try. I’m not sure what the answer is, I know we can’t pretend. I hope we figure it out and don’t let this be our end.

It's difficult but necessary to think about the future after being stifled for the last 10 months. But without hope, there is nothing, and it comes from faith. I hope your lines are read by many over the weekend, as something to seriously think about.
