AMERICAN GENOCIDE

America's genocide, by way of abortion, drugs and other ways unseen. 
America's genocide looks clear to me, non-Americans are growing and have a high birth rate, making them not suffer genocide. 
America should allow for free day care, allowing women to have options if they need, just enlarge the schools to include daycare.
America should put its unborn first, making way for a higher birth rate. 
America's genocide looks like a plan to make Americans suffer loss, loss of family members, loss of voices, because they are a smaller and smaller groups have less voices.
America should put its people first, and allow for free stuff, like free college, free trade school, free day care from birth forward. 
America's freedom is always at stake, voices are the way to protect freedom, any killing of its people is genocide for America. 
Lifting prayers to God, today and always.

ALL FAIR IN WAR

He told me all is fair in war, that he studied all of our wars. 
That when they take over, everything will belong to them. 
He told me, when a new culture of government takes over they instill all of their laws and cultures, making all the old ones cancelled. 
All is fair in war he said, so the real thought I said is when will this happen. 
Is it done by population, by birth rate, by wealth, by some other type of war that is not in sight. 
All is fair in war he said, makes me think of God, when he said multiply and dominate the earth. 
Is it true that the one that has the most, has the most power, are larger families more able to control and dominate. 
All is fair in war, is an interesting discussion, leads me to make many presumptions. 
Reminds me of the days of plunder, when they enslaved all the people when the winner conquered the target. 
Are family growth and culture and nation, are all related to war and domination. 
Lifting prayers to God, for today and always.

Puzzle

How much Social Distancing
Can there really have been
If the Birth Rate rose
During Covid nineteen?


The Fall of the West

The fall of the west

Easy, abortion worrying, call for an appointment at five.
A well-educated woman has a career to consider
 this is her right to pursue her dream. (Work before pleasure.) 
a mother is hard work and the pay is lousy 
Birth rates in Europe are sinking, upsetting the balance of the future.
A less educated woman has to work also one pay packet is not thanks 
to our capitalist system called hard graft
In Portugal, the birth rate is low, from one generation to a distressing fall.
Old people die out there are not enough people to take up the slack, 
which in the end ruin a country?
If an unmarried woman has 3 to 4 children, she is seen as a loose 
Woman, we punish her and her children sending them into poverty
 while we should applaud her for saving the future of Europa
What is needed is economic stimulus making motherhood well paid 
a career to strive towards.

And For Our Next Trick

I read somewhere quite recently

that babies born that day might be 

the very first to live forever.

How very clever.

And how long after that, I thought, 

before the birth-rate must be nought

because the planet's been stacked high

with people who refuse to die?

Might our next great revolution 

mean the end of Evolution?

Fluffy Slipper Lint Day

Every day is special, but not all you’d recognize
The Fluffy Slipper Lint Day just took me by surprise
It occurs in late October, the 26th is set aside
When people all over the world celebrate fairies that have died
You don’t know about this fairy, the Fluffy Bunny Slipper
They’re seldom seen by anyone, for they’re a night time tripper
They collect lint from their bellies and insert it in your shoes
Or any other footwear that you choose to use
But lint found in other places is not because of them
They’re strictly slipper fairies, at least they so contend
These creatures are so ancient, historians all say
Their name predates the cuneiform found in ancient clay
The nomenclature “Bunny” comes from their high birth rate
They have to make more fairies before it is too late
Their death rate is tremendous, the family’s almost gone
For often as they’re leaving lint, they just get stomped upon
If you’ve nothing else to celebrate on this October day
Celebrate the Fluffy Bunny Slipper Fairy in your own peculiar way

Premium Member Rabbits' Habits

There's one thing I've noticed about rabbits

   And that's their very prolific habits

      Their birth rate they could reduce

         Should Brer Hare Cease to seduce

            And banned from places Miz Hare inhabits
