Poem Title:
Poem
I sat in the staff room attempting to read my book along came a co-worker that wanted conversation In two decades he said the world will fight for a shortage of water the north poles melting into the sea I replied how is that going to cause a shortage of water the more water we have in the sea, the more the sun creates steam the more steam, the more clouds, the more rain, the more water the poles melting will not give us a shortage of water In two decade's he replied the worlds population will increase forcing us to fight for water and that your generations fault I replied "I cant see that as my fault, I didn't have any kids" so I didn't contribute to over-populating the world "It's a matter of growing up" I stated "why bring ten kids into a world if you know they are going to fight and kill to survive". "Surely if we only have two kids with each family the world's population will decrease" Your children and their children will die he said in two decade's I will more than likely be dead and I didn't have any children so they are not going to suffer perhaps it's the rest of the world that needs to think. We have a choice we can either make a world full of joy or we can make a world full of suffering and pain the choice is yours what you do today will change the world what you do today can make it better or worse.
