A NEW HABITAT IN ANTARCTICA
Poet Chan Mongol
December 8 of 2019
Antarctica will be the next homestead;
It is not in the Moon, Mars or Jupiter.
Preparation is needed for the settlement;
With nuclear power plant to supply power!
Once, the new world was America,
Hard works, electricity needed enormous;
With gold rush, railway and for ventures,
Mass immigration was occurred for us!
Europe, Asia, Africa were left behind then,
Over population had proper distribution;
What could happen to those continents?
If none could get here for immigration!
Things worked well in the past,
With those men and their manpower;
Again, world population is rocketing,
Alarming condition became the horror.
British once managed settlement to many;
Overseas empty islands, lands, terrains;
Nothing will be easy now in the Antarctica,
Process takes time with tremendous pains!
Big powers can still own Antarctica,
Collecting protection money, fees, taxes;
And for providing heat and hot water,
For banking, policing, services-enterprises!
Excellency, Queen can call for a meeting,
To finance for the new settlement mission;
To save humanity from the coming danger,
Need to rush the new settlement mission!
Same procedure; process will be applied,
As done in USA; Canada with heat, water;
Let's be protected for few hundred years
NASA can stop spending for Mars, Jupiter!
Let's start thinking today for tomorrow,
For new settlement for unborn children;
Over the surface of the earth for fresh air,
For fresh habitat for us, it can be a heaven!
Why going too far and why wasting money?
The planet to live is in the next door;
There is no need to look in the outer space,
The remedy is in the earth's own corridor!
I wish my proposal can reach far to big guys,
They can think even when they sip liquor, beer;
A good planning is the urgent to start the job,
And save the old earth from coming danger.

Isn't Antarctica colder than Canada? An interesting fantastic poem as you make us think of Antarctica on earth for settlement rather than Mars or moon. Kudos. Pls pleez do review/ comment on my newest poem too, titled, " bullfighters: the bull bullies"
Advanced scientific toys can do impossible to possible. Special missiles can cause Tsunami, earthquake, flood and many disastrous events. Technology led toys to the moon and Mars. A little attention can warm up Antarctic also for us to live there. Few nuclear power plants can suffice the need.
