The Future of Europe

Future
 
Europe 
Have many old people
We need
Young people
To replace the aged 
If we are to, continue 
As nation states
Europe is big and 
Underpopulated
We deny entry 
To the millions knocking
On our doors
We atrophies 
Into senility 
Fearful of changes 
But Europe of yesteryears
Is not like it is today
And Europe of
Tomorrow 
Will not be as it now.
