Nope, the title isn’t a typo, as you may have suspected. ;o)
It cites ‘portmanteaux’, like retirity and eterniment, 1
Blended words to help to convey unique concepts exposited.
Here is another: ‘Godagement’, blending God and management.
That happens when folks are infected by sins, unrestricted,
And The Lord’s Amazing Grace, they have completely exhausted!
That’s akin to normal inflation and its hyper cousin, 2
Also acute inflammation and it’s chronic relative. 3
When these get a foothold, watch out for a fast, downward tailspin,
Leading to difficult times that are sure to be repressive.
Do you doubt there are correlations between these and sins,
When, toward The Lord, folks are persistently …transgressive??
Inflammation
With inflammation, the whole world has long been impacted.
Especially chronic inflammation that never quits!
Some experts say it’s because from Earth, we’re disconnected,
From wearing shoes that block the Earth’s electrical circuit.
Thus, by ‘free radicals’, we’re negatively affected.
By obesity and major dis-eases, we’re unfit! 4
The Lord designed inflammation as our first line of defense,
Against any and all forms of ill health.
Acute inflammation is timely, and it has …quitting sense!
But chronic inflammation is more stealth,
Acting like a leaking faucet, an unhealthy consequence.
Thus, our first line of defense …steals our health!!!
Inflation
With inflation, the post-Covid pandemic world was blasted,
As global supply chains geared-up to meet surging demands.
Though root causes are well-known, politicians are lambasted,
As impatience for ‘normality’ rapidly expands.
Therefore, interest rates were raised, and employment was impacted.
Yet business and labor markets don’t cool down …‘on command’! 5
When poorly managed economies suffer a crisis,
Every measure of ‘normality’ spins out of control.
To print more money, many governments become fearless,
Which is akin to turning a fire into a hellhole!
The Bible predicts/records LOTS of financial distress.
That may be what inspired Revelation 6:6, I’m told.
Ok…
Within this context, let’s explore my new portmanteaux,
To see how with these two evils, they correlate.
Keep an open mind about what you think you may know.
With open minds, more wisdom we accumulate.
Share your portmanteaux that capture the scenario,
Of righteousness today, in global tailspin fate.
Stay tuned for Part 2

1 Portmanteau – a blended word that results from blending two or more words, or parts of words, to expresses some combination of the meaning of their parts. See: Portmanteau Word. See also: On ‘Retirity’ and ‘Eterniment’ (poem).
2 Zimbabwe is the best example of hyperinflation.
3 See: Signs of Chronic Inflammation You May Not Expect.
4 This refers to Earth grounding, which is proven to reduce body inflammation by reducing free radicals, the cause of many dis-eases and poor health, leading to premature death. See: Intuition Physician, and also: Practical Applications of Grounding to Support Health. Learning about this, I now safely practice regular Earth grounding, also called ‘earthing’. See also: Two Earths, Two Songs (Poem).
5 Governments’ economic stimulus initiatives during the pandemic poured money into national economies to help folks who were out of work, but still had bills to pay. These initiatives also contributed to inflation. Post-pandemic increases in national interest rates might threaten economic recession, or worse yet, depression.
