Overpopulation
Is it a concern
Or some stupid myth
Are we waiting for a downturn
Reducing the population by a fifth
Thomas Malthus thought so
And Paul Ehrlich too
But their fortune telling a no show
Has it affected you
No it has not
Changed your life
Even while it has got hot
And all the global warming strife
Along with too many people
And new diseases and viruses
I feel we are climbing a steep hill
And no foreseeable miracles
Man thinks he can create a miracle play
By reducing the world population
As they create schemes along the way
New ways to reduce the population of each nation
But like inflation
It is harder than it looks
To change Gods creation
They need better cooks
Cooks to take a recipe
To create a dish
Or a lawful precipe
To answer their wish
First it was abortion
Which worked marvelously
Killing a significant proportion
And it worked impersonally
But man is pigheaded
Creating more of their own kind
Previous birthrates shredded
Global population had not declined
A new way had to be found
To change this state of affairs
A sure way which is sound
No matter the suffering and tears
The population had to dwindle
Before it was too late
A great global swindle
So the problem will abate
A virus or fungus pandemic
Blaming global warming
A colossal epidemic
Their conspiracies were forming
Create a new infectious bug
To contaminate the world
They were so smug
As the contagion unfurled
They ignored science
Our own immune systems
Which did not join their alliance
Reducing the number of victims
But they learned their lesson
And they will be back
With much more aggression
To get their devious plans on track

Is there an overpopulation problem in the world, or is it a myth?
Whether there is an overpopulation problem in the world has long been a source of contention. On one side of the argument, those who believe that the world is facing an imminent population crisis point to statistics that show a growing population and increasing difficulties in providing food, water, and other resources to meet the needs of this ever-growing population. You remember Thomas Malthus, An Essay on the Principle of Population, and Paul Ehrlich, The Population Bomb.
Conversely, those who believe overpopulation is a myth point to technological advancements that have enabled us to produce more food, provide better access to clean water, and create more efficient methods of utilizing resources. Or we will move to outer space, a new frontier to habitat other planets.
The truth will likely be in the middle, as with many contentious issues. The world population is growing, but technological advancements have allowed us to accommodate this growth in specific ways. We must, however, be mindful of the potential negative impacts of overpopulation, such as a decrease in the availability of resources, an increase in pollution, and an increase in the spread of diseases. We must also consider our capabilities and limitations when it comes to managing population growth and the potential consequences of our actions.
If I were a conspiracy theorist or a fiction novel writer, I would consider the population problem a formula:
Zero Population Growth = New Borns less Natural Deaths, less War and Terrorism Deaths less All other deaths less the x factor.
And what is the x factor? Whatever is dreamed up to reduce the number of living people on the earth. The population is growing, with people living longer and babies surviving childbirth. The world population rises by approximately 150 million per year.
Maybe abortion was the first x factor. Abortion was pushed for the past fifty years globally to shrink the world population by 1.5 billion or 60 million annually. This was not enough.
And suddenly, a mysterious virus spreads throughout the globe killing 7 million. This did nothing to reduce the number of babies, 150 million, born yearly. But I have heard world leaders say there will be more pandemics. They will be caused by global warming or the world getting hotter. The pandemic will be more significant and more widespread, killing many more. It is just the start.
To get to zero population growth, 150 million individuals must die annually before birth through abortion, war, or disease.
