World Population 2022

From Adam and Eve to 8 billion people What a wave from just a ripple Finally claim is laid on all lands Does it mean more brains and hands To have all done and much made And still have many with whom to trade? To be fruitful and multiply The present day does testify Will this gain be a pain Will the earth bring forth enough to sustain Only until we put to the test Why scarcity in the east and waste in the west Nations and armies glory in the multitude To work, build and amass into plenitude The more the merrier for the meaning of unity Their terror to the adversary is almost immunity But none of these recall while in their droves How the Lord's time and chance shoves Long live and many descendants Is to us great blessing and to God many remnants May the increase of the earth fold as we are May the testimony of our lives ring near and far For God's Will is not in any way made somber If faith is found in the hearts of this much a number K.
