In Desperate Times.......

This is a possible outcome for our planet and its inhabitants!

               The year is 2525, the age of Aquarius....... or at least that's what the hippies from the early 70's claimed it would be! But its more like the age of a dying world. As of now we have no ruler, no President has been in office for a good part of the last 20 years. Fear was rampant in other parts of the world, and soon spread to what used to be called the “United States” or the glorious land of “America.”

          Freedom...... I can't recall what that word even meant, as it hasn't been a part of this land in ages.

           Other lands that were across the great Atlantic Ocean used to long to be like us, in having the freedom to come and go as we pleased. Little did they know that slowly our rights were being stripped away from the young to the very old. At first we didn't notice what was happening, yet the few philosophers kept claiming that our life, our very existence was being eeked out of us. Some took heed to their words of wisdom and sought out hiding places. But those who had blinders on stayed out in the open as if nothing was going on.

            But I knew, slowly noticing from the subtle changes that were happening. Call it divine guidance or heeding the counsel of the Philosophers. Yet the winds of changing times were coming forth on the horizon. And even before the installation of Barrack Hussein Obama the plans to transform, not just the land I live in but the whole world was happening. The claims of global warming were greatly exaggerated by the media, and many rogue organizations. And still many were blinded by what the government was doing, like tainting the water supply, the scare tactics of food contamination, to people dieing of natural causes.

          Ha ha now that's a laugh, nobody has died from natural causes for at least 15 years. Sure the economy was bad, gas prices had skyrocketed out of control. But that was there plan, to get the people so frustrated with life that they felt they had no way out. It slowly came down to being killed or commit suicide to end your own miserable life. Then one day I noticed something strange, people weren't being killed at least that I knew of. One day I would see them, say hi and have a short conversation- then the next day they would be gone! Never to be seen or heard about again; so thoughts of Germany and the days when Hitler was the ruler sprung up in my mind. Why even in Russia, people were disappearing and no trace of them were ever seen again.

           Those great Philosophers had warned about this ocurring, yet many said it would never happen in our society. They even stated it was against the Constitution to pick up someone off the streets, at least without due process. Yet it was happening right here in the land of the so-called free! The government had been slowly abolishing what our Founding Fathers had set about when they created the Constitution.

          That is why I keep in hiding, because they are targeting anyone above the age of 50 first. Except those who are in the secret agencies who run this country now. They have special immunity, because of their status or they paid a hefty sum to keep from being one of the taken.

          I rightly don't remember how old I actually am, but I do know I will stay in hiding until my body can no longer care for itself. When I have pain, I do my best to ignore it as it does no good to dwell on how to find medicine to stop it. Thinking about that makes me laugh, because the so-called pills they used to give out, is why many people are sick today. They had slowly been poisoning us with these magic pills that claimed to take away the pain. And no place was safe from the destruction that was happening to our land, our world and its inhabitants.

         I venture out of my hiding place, only to find a new one. One that seemingly feels more secure than the last, and that has some untainted water that I can drink. I have come to rely on little sustenance, so I leave the majority of the food supplies for others wandering from place to place. And each new place affords a different kind of cuisine, some I like and others I don't. And if anything has spoiled we know to make an large X across the top, unless of course one who desires that it's their time to leave this earthly realm. Then they take it and find a good nice spot to perish and let their body decompose going back into the ground.

          The new place I am at is an old abandoned library, and has lots of books on the shelves still. It seems like nobody has been here for a lifetime, the books are covered with dust, and the windows have cobwebs in them. The only book that is not covered in dust is the Holy Bible, a brave soul must have still had some religion inside of them. I think it was in the year 2013 that all the religions were banned, even the Muslim religion! Which I thought was funny since they were so gung-ho to be the main religion during the time Obama was the President. Yet even they were not immune to what was now happening worldwide.

            Life was slipping away from being a free society to one of tyrannical tyranny! Why even the Generals of the mighty military forces were blindsided by what was occurring. They soon became desperate times.......... what was that the Bible said? Here let me find that scripture......... ah yes here it is, 2 Timothy 3:1, it states “ But know this, that in the last days critical times hard to deal with will be here.” I would declare this has come true for the earth!

            But this is what I find most interesting, it goes on to say in the next verse ( I guess thats what it is called, but any way) number two goes on to say why it would be hard “ For men will be lovers of themselves, self-assuming, haughty, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, disloyal, having no natural affection, not open to any agreement, slanderers, without self-control, fierce, without love of goodness, betrayers, headstrong, puffed up with pride, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godly devotion but proving false to its power, and from these turn away.”

         Okay so I read more than one verse, but these next two are most interesting and maybe why people are disappearing or have been for some time now. Listen to this “ For from these arise those who slyly work their way into households and lead as their captives weak women loaded down with sins, led by various desires, always learning and yet never able to come to an accurate knowledge of truth.” So alright it speaks about weak women, but I have seen men grabbed off the street minding their own business. Maybe God left out men, because he didn't think they would be some of the ones taken. Who knows these corrupt men do what they please, take whom they please, even kill those who are weaker than they are.

          Enough of this Bible talk, I need to find a good place to sleep for the night. A place where I can see the front door and see who comes in and out of the library. I reckon its about 4 or 5 o'clock now, so it should be getting dark soon. I have a bedroll and will use my backpack for a pillow. Might as well read some before this place loses all the light that streams in. I might just make this my home, that is if I feel secure enough here.

             Life isn't fun when you are constantly on the move, and always a step ahead of the SS! Yes that's right America has Secret Police, just like in the days of Hitler. Although they don't call it America any longer, and its been far to long since any of us have heard what they changed the name to. Last I heard was “Republic of America” or something along those lines....... I just call it “this land I exist in.”

         I know that is a vague assumption on my part, but oh well. I ceased to have any cares other than my own survival, and they can call it whatever pleases them! Most of the young people don't care either, all they seem to care about is whatever music they can find to fill their music players. Then they tune out the world, no need for drugs as music is there drug of choice. Which infuriates the rulers, because they can't control what the young people do. But when they do find a weakling among the crowd, they are soon whisked away and taken to an undisclosed area for “reprograming” and if they don't conform they are killed ( okay that last part I can't confirm, I just suppose they dispose of them in a most inhuman way.)

              Nobody became a zombie or freaked out, like the CDC claimed either. Also after the legalization of marijuana, it ceased to be a hip drug. Only the older ones who felt they couldn't live without that stuff still smoked. And this really hurt the drug cartels down in Mexico, as their funds soon dried up. But they are not my problem, I live for myself and have been for a very long time. I do suppose that was one good thing that this establishment had done, but the cost it wielded was heavy. So many suffered for the greater good of man �" or so they say.

            Now I must get some rest and hope that I don't need to move on. If I can stay here till I perish, I can't say I don't have something to occupy my time with. But I will only read those that I haven't read already, and that interest me. I surmise there are well over 5,000 books, and

loads of old magazines and periodicals from way back in the beginning of the 21^st century.

         So in desperate times like these you must do what you can, with what you have or find and survive....... and I aim to do just that for as long as I can.
