MAN'S FUTURE IS MICRO

Our numbers still they grow and grow But on finite planet What can we do; which way to go So on earth we all fit? Our numbers we cannot reduce For then we go backwards. So we must further reproduce To continue forwards. There seems to be no equation So we ask our A.I. Can it offer a solution? And tell us what to try. Perhaps we tweak our DNA And make humans micro. Now this could be our only way. Let’s think of future show. Micro people would consume less When just few inches tall. This would reduce pollution mess. Our impact would be small. It is the rational way to go. We must downsize to fit. And our numbers can further grow On our future planet.

Enjoyed your poem and it's reasoning. Can we also 'macro' our planet, and go the other direction, too?

Thanks David. An interesting thought - macro our planet. Perhaps we make efforts at populating other planets. Starting with Mars. Micro humans on Mars. But first we must engineer and atmosphere there. Tony
