The Worldometer! Poem by Naga Vamshidhar Ratakonda

To Take Birth & Live is,
To Compete With Time,
To Overcome Threats &
To Prove Your Worth;

To Attain Eternal Fame,
Knowing that You Still,
Have To Die & Leave this,
Planet Earth SomeTime!

Races Always Were In a,
Multithreaded Race Condition,
To Reproduce & Multiply,
To Dominate their Societies!

Worldometer Approaching,
The Eight Billion Mark Fast,
At 80 Million Births Per Year,
Despite Low Fertility Rates;

Resource Quantity Depletion,
Resource Quality Degradation,
Of Air, Water, Land & Food,
Poses Life Survival Concerns!

Democracies of Votes,
Pumping Unprecedented Births,
By Some Foolish Quarters;
And Tangential Rational
Thoughts Of Wise Others;

Still Growing Population,
A Huge Future Challenge,
Of Green Earth With No,
Planet In Sure Sight Ready,
For Habitation So Far Near;

One Child A Rising Star,
Second A Show Stopper,
More A Poverty Cropper;
Family Planning & Population
Control Need of the Hour!
