Too many

Too much trash, sky held ash, not enough food

Too little land, eroded sand, spilled oil crude

Not enough water, too much war's slaughter, people so rude

Deforestation, too much inflation, anger and depressed mood

Poor education, child molestation, unneeded administration, social isolation

Media fabrication, too little communication, excessive stimulation

Floods of immigration, rigid discrimination, paucity of motivation 

Overused medication, starvation all this deviation due to overpopulation

Now this poem speaks to me directly!

What a great rhyming piece...I love the way it's structured and the emotion behind it...

I feel your frustration at the current state of the world and I agree to some extent
But is it really due to overpopulation? Or just the ignorance of the current population?

Both I would think. All species either self regulate their populations or have regulating forces that do. People do not war, pestilence, and famine are not sufficient with our efforts to thwart them contributing to other problems like effects of pesticides and additives to foods. Thank you so much for your read and understanding it is most appreciated.

Our planet is meant for more than one

Trouble is: there have been too many self-important 'ones' running this earth and, just look what they have done with it! Trouble is there are still too many 'ones' who think they know it all but are merely pontificating - in simple words - talking a load of hot air, bull.. or simply: rubbish.

Your writing is more than finely put, but.. where are your thoughts for improvement, please.

Thank you so much Emmajoy for your review and comments they are truly valued. I am not smart enough to have those answers and my opinions are too radical to be shared with others.

[emmajoygreen]

Many thanks for answering and truly apologise for asking such a direct question.

[Soren]

No apology necessary I have just found that in the past when I share thoughts on such sensitive matters people now days get very upset. If someone really wanted to know I would gladly share them in private.

[emmajoygreen]

Can and do understand that. Will get back to you as soon as possible. :)

Eugenics is a rich isolation. The wealth owns so little until they're free of the poor creation. ❤️

Rid us of the population. What needs born is Eugenic isolation. Yet no true need to fear, a World of War is near. Nukes will rid the population, what pollution at all if we nuke em? Overpopulation is a hope we can trust in. Underpopulation is the end of a world's sin.

Thanks so much for the read and understanding comment it is appreciated.
