On Trampled Ground

Over Trampled Ground

Visit and enjoy
But what is it
Just a clever decoy
A tourist pit

Not songs of old
Beautiful places of the unknown
Or stories told
Of luscious home grown

But overcrowded masses
Seeing what is made for them
Looking through tourist glasses
The not authentic ho hum

What was
Is gone
A faux pas
Just a yawn

Days long ago
When it was exquisite
A local partisan show
With sentiment and eloquence

An old charm
With genuine people
Living simply with no alarm
On the side of the steep hill

Vineyards and orchards
Olives and grapes
With no ill words
Living with what it takes

To be simple
And kind
With no one to swindle
Or steal you blind

But today
There are plenty
Battling the fray
Too many

In these tourist traps
Marketed as something special
But just ridiculous scraps
On a monetary hijacked vessel

	

Over Population

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
