Reduce Poems | Examples


We Can Reduce the Population If We Try

The chessboard stretches, black and white,
Too many pawns crowd every fight.
Resources dwindle, tempers flare,
Too many hands grasp thinning air.

The planners meet in silent halls,
Their charts and graphs like ancient walls.
They speak in terms both cold and clean—
"Efficient means," not "cruel" or "mean."

A gentle nudge, a softened blow,
Less birth, less war, more death below.
No famines loud, no bombs to shake—
Just medicine we do not make.

Subtle are the tools of fate,
Disguised in law, in boardroom weight.
The world, they say, must be more small—
But never start with us at all.

Reduce the Heat That Burns the Mind

Burning right the mind of the thinkers
Or so One thinks
There is a need to reduce the Heat in the mind that breatheth 
So as to aid a thinking right
If the fire can not be quenched
A passion is needed to reduce such dangerous alter passion
So reduce the Heat that Burns the Mind 
For a thinking to pass through.

Premium Member A Population Balance

Population 
Seems to be a constant ratio
New born and deaths   
Always keep a balance
Marriage and pregnancy 
Triple the populations
New generations emerge
Wars ,disasters ,epidemics, natural causes 
Double the diminishing
Deaths occur
What's a hell
Who is guilty 
Man is a part of the violator  
Because he starts a war
Because he persuades the virus grows
Because he's careless about the natural disasters
And too bad 
Some people are still making profit out of them
And life becomes harder and harder
In the end
Man pays an extra debt for his own deeds
Just because of  
A fake population balance
A real scandal
To kill and to conquer( wars ) 
To pursuit freedom of choice of life styles ( selfish and careless )
In the end 
Some people just sigh
They can't do anything 
Because this Omicron is also just a population balance


R We Acting

We have to Rethink
what our choices are
so we can choose
life that doesn’t stink

We have to Refuse
our single use mentality
with all our ability
making sure we defuse

We have to Reduce
all of our consumption
to stop our destruction
with absolutely no excuse

We have to Refurbish
everything that we make
or nature will bellyache
grumbling with human rubbish

We have to Repair
before replacing with new
so the garbage spew
is not in despair

We have to Repurpose
for all our productivity
to not feel guilty
in our climate crisis

We have to Recycle
for our last action
with a strong interaction
for all life’s survival

Bike Rider Wrapped Round Tractor Tyre

There are people who drive tractors for a living
There are people who ride motorcycles fast
There are times when the two meet
There are times when those meetings are bad
There are times when it's fecking carnage 
There are times when the bike rider dies
There are times when he's wrapped round the back wheel
There are times when the bike hits the tractor at 200mph
There are times when both fuel tanks explode
There are times when they miss one another
There are times when the bike drives slowly
There are times when speed limits are respected 
There are times when no road laws are broken
There are times when zero accidents take place
There are times when people are sensible
There are times when we all live in fantasy
There are times when we hope this becomes true



F*cking Upside Down In a Blazing Avro Manchester Bomber – Poems from My Life and More 

Nick Armbrister

Declare Truce Which Wood Reduce

Declare Truce Which Would Reduce

What they did do was declare a truce,
That prices would eventually reduce;
Profit expand,
We demand;
Trump came up with a perfect excuse.

Jim Horn


Reduce, Reuse, Recycle

I'll write my fears on bathroom stalls for all the people to see.
The people I refuse to miss in cities that refuse to miss me.
Refuse, Refuse, Refuse, Refuse,
Reuse, Reuse, Reuse, Reuse,
Ruse, Ruse, Ruse, Ruse.
I lied.

Premium Member Rondelet: Reduce the Size and Population of the State

Rondelet: "Reduce the size and population of the state." 

"Ensure that even though the people have tools of war (...) they will not use them (...) they will be reluctant to move to distant places because they look on death as no light matter. (...) Bring it about that the people will (...) find relish in their food And beauty in their clothes, Will be content in their abode And happy in the way they live."   Tao Te Ching, LXXX. Transl. by D. C. Lau. (Penguin Books).

Cut sex: immigration will stop

Population

Well almost: miscegenation

Humans put sex at utmost top:

Aids herpes chlamydia crop up

Population
