Overpopulation

The birth of child, feelings of elation
despite the dilemma of overpopulation –
A conundrum causing social unrest
with sustainable resources at their worst

Depleting rapidly are the forest covers
polluted with filth are the sacred rivers
Wildlife habitat has become disturbed
fearing extinction species are perturbed

Ecology and biodiversity are brazenly exposed
wasteful consumption cunningly reposed
Impudently proliferates man’s greed
Ah! The arrogant, ignorant, deceitful creed!

For Earth to support in sustainable manner
before it gets too late we must ponder –
What sort of world we intend to offer
to children of God who we have to answer

Endowed we are with reason and sense
bestowed by God so that we may aptly use
Declining and denying the precepts of nature
the quality of life will deteriorate to an abuse
