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.
