Damn no lecture then. That\'s ok Dave I don\'t like lectures either and hate being told what to do. Seems like poetry is the only place I can (freely?) express myself. Fun read Dave

Some people really want kids and go through expensive treatments to have them. But the poet voice wonders why is having children treated as life’s biggest goal? There’s so much more to life than just reproducing. They point out that many people keep having kids, even during hard times, without thinking twice. But the poetic voice isn’t judging everyone; just asking people who can choose to think twice. If having kids doesn’t come naturally, maybe that’s okay. Maybe it’s something to accept, not “fix.” In a crowded world, we might need less pressure to have more people. Maybe it’s more about money and pressure than true need.

There are really good reasons to have children and really bad reasons. Doing so because one feels they have to or that their lives are a waste if they don\'t, are really bad reasons. So is doing so because one billionaire, or all of them, tell you to...or because some religious leader tells you to. Bad reasons. You are spot on, my friend. A must fave for the truth alone! 👏🌹

There is no need for any form of IVF, there are more than enough children or babies out there to be fostered or adopted and in need of a loving home , a very interesting and no doubt thought provoking write, enjoyed the read

Tend to agree Dave too many people. But then that gets down to which ones are the too many? Don\'t want to leave that up to any world leader. It seems that the poorest are the ones with the most and maybe that is mother nature telling us that we are a dead end on the evolutionary tree. Man\'s attempt at IVF is another attempt at fighting mother nature and we all know how that fight works out. My money is on mother nature. Good write my friend

I can understand it for a couple who struggle to have children but to just do it because you can is shameful. Fine words Dave.

Come on - depletion of resources, the environment, climate change, overpopulation.... anyway, let all that lie. Great of you to be so prompt in support, Missy.
Yeh - thanks for reminding me of surrogacy. The issues which prompted this were as far as I can tell, fertilized eggs being popped into the wrong mother....I see an element of creepiness in the whole damn thing too.
Thanks once more for the support.

You, and some other charming fellows I know and dearly love--what\'s with your claim the world is \"overpopulated\"?! Come again?! Not like I\'m guilty anywho. Yes, surrogacy is the trendiest thing on the marriage scene, seems. But, dang! I can still remember the court battles over \"Baby--\" whose birth mother claimed him for herself despite being only the surrogate. I begin to think the issue is not so much more or less people, but something far more creepy. Beautifully rendered diatribe, complete with excellent imagery and a weirdly haunting poignancy. Thank you for sharing.

Good one Dave. The news is horrendous these days. Commentators just do their jobs, it\'s who writes the script and who owns the media outlet. Mostly the very rich. As to social justice, well the millionaires love it the way it is. It\'s a dark shadow overlooking humanity as spelled out in your 4 lines. Try hard to enjoy the sunlight, - Phil A.

Of all the stuff in the world that should be recycled, old shit goes through the machines. News from the loo.
I don\'t blame you, Dave. I think we should stick to poetry.

Well, you’re curiosity is still intact, but what’s to be curious of when you already know the bullshit that will be spewed. So, I call this a graduation to selective curiosity and an ability to turn out what’s not worth being curious of. Idk. Or, not. 🤷♂️😂 But, I will say this Dave: right there with you on this! 🌹👏 Great job!!!

There isn\'t a concept of altruism and justice in this dissociative and self-centred motley gathering. Of course there are pockets of social groupings and justice dealings. But it is not the norm nor the majority. I feel this write. 🙏🏻🕊️

I do not know Sydney, but here London they constantly bang on about it being the best in the world and it is very very far from it, I would think this happens all around the world. I think sometimes when we are surrounded by something and see it all the time we can become blind to what it is really like, enjoyed the read
