The Current World Crisis

We live in unprecedented times
no people anywhere is able to escape
interest rates and prices go sky high
what will become of us before its too late

The oil prices rise to affect us all
finding fuel rises makes cars hard to drive
so difficult to afford just for a trip
look into the future and how to stay alive

Then we have energy prices rising
escalating continuously knows no end
how do we find the cash? goes up and up
will governments intervene to help our spend?

Shopping in our local supermarkets
prices rising week by week mo longer cheap
even the poundshops lost their own ground
makes you wonder what price we shall reap

So what does the future really hold?
can generations coming up truly survive?
it's going to take some to be mighty bold
to survive this crisis and again thrive

As you say, Gordon, we are living in difficult times, but I refuse to throw in the towel! Let's hope that the situation will take a turn for the better. ~ Regards // paul

It's pretty scary and I don't see things getting any better I think it will take a miracle for humanity to survive, not taking into account that WW 111 might still come about . Be well my friend and you and your wife take care and God bless Jennifer

So true Gordon, unfortunately my friend this has all been planned out. It will get much worse. Gordon we are living in the end times my friend. I have spent thrity years researching the globalist agenda and sadly predicted all that you are seeing. My advice to you is to move to the country and start farming because there wont be any food soon. Food, shelter, and water are the most important things to have. Stock up on rice, pasta, honey , beans, non perishables. Everything will continue to rise

Thanks for your comment Michael, very thought-provoking points you make. Afraid wouldn't be able to move to the country but believe God is in control and he wqill take care of his loving children. Blessings, Gordon

in price oil to heat your home also. Get a wood burning stove or fireplace just in case there is no fuel. Tell others to develop communities to barter with because they will collapse the dollar and bring in a Bitcoin currency to control you more. You go against them they turn off your money. Cities will be the worst places to be living in because of the peoples plight of no food they will be stealing and robbing for food. Get out in the Country away from people. It has already started trust me my friend... I have written about all this Gordon please read what I have written, and tell others... especially family...

Yes it is... With God, we will survive though, until the coming of Jesus or the time when we meet Him after passing. God bless you friend. Wonderful writing. Love, Gina
