After The Storm Clears


Who can say where we will be tomorrow, when today has no purpose. The grayish dark blue skies trick us into thinking that time is standing still, never moving, never changing.
I have been wondering, when the love of my life, will return from his duties, to be with me again. I know that what he is doing is dangerous, and that is why we can't be together now. He is my pillar of strength, and I must stay vigil, while we are living apart, during the aftermath of the destruction, which happened because of several lies to the people, which then triggered civil unrest, and then the wars started, within the country. Not to mention the many, out of the ordinary, natural disasters, which were happening almost one right after the other.
The banks all collapsed, one after another. People were running scared, with their money, not knowing where to safely put it. The government had become a joke, with all of their bail outs going to the wrong places, instead of to the people, who are considered to be the working class, or should I be, so bold and say, the slave working class.
Now there are no more paychecks, no more money, the stores have all been looted, very little resources left for the once middle class people, who are now considered to be poor bastards, like the rest of us low wage earners. It turns out that the only jobs left are government jobs, which most of us refuse to work at, because like I said before, the government had become a joke.
I am one of the lucky ones, who have ties with someone, who has access to supplies. I ration myself, like it will be my last meal, because no one knows, when the supplies, will suddenly run out.
I remember, before everything went black, and how the weather was changing for the worse, meaning that the summers were becoming hotter each year, and the winters were becoming colder each year. The reality finally hit people, who lived in south Florida, when in January of 2010, there was a cold snap, which lasted almost 2 weeks. No one was prepared to handle more than 2 days, let alone 2 weeks of brutal cold temperatures, for an already warm acclimatized person. One year after that cold snap, it actually did snow in south Florida.
As of now, it hasn't rained in at least 6 months. It is dry like a desert, thankfully the wind is still. I was never a sun worshiper, but I am glad that some of its light is finally starting to shine through the darkness, but with that said, no one knows how dangerous it will be to someone, who walks around outside during the day? night? who knows. I am hoping that someone will soon come up with some way to measure the time of day, so that I won't need to keep making guesses, when it comes to, what time of the day it might be.
Okay, I must stop writing for now because I am feeling tired again. I am not sure if I am feeling tired more often, just because I am becoming more bored with the way life is now, or if I am coming down with some kind of cold/ flu. Who knows, time will tell. Until next time ...May Peaceful Thoughts Be With You Even During Times Of Extreme Stress.
