It is far worse than many of you realized if you can see it from the spiritual point of view, you will understand that souls population had greatly declined, whilst soullessness mankind population booming at an insane rate.

There'll be a sign for all to see
Be sure that it will certain be.
Then love shall die and marriage cease
And nations wane as babes decrease

And wives shall fondle cats and dogs
And men live much the same as hogs.

[snip]

The kings shall false promise make
And talk just for talking's sake
And nations plan horrific war
The like as never seen before
And taxes rise and lively down
And nations wear perpetual frown. - Mother Shipton
