Too much trash, sky held ash, not enough food
Too little land, eroded sand, spilled oil crude
Not enough water, too much war's slaughter, people so rude
Deforestation, too much inflation, anger and depressed mood
Poor education, child molestation, unneeded administration, social isolation
Media fabrication, too little communication, excessive stimulation
Floods of immigration, rigid discrimination, paucity of motivation
Overused medication, starvation all this deviation due to overpopulation

This is so powerful and thought-provoking, highlighting pressing global issues with striking clarity. The rhythm and structure effectively convey the urgency and importance of these concerns. Well done!
Thank you Salvia for your read and most kind and supportive interpretation and comments they are most appreciated
And in some corners depopulation is on the agenda 🙏🏻🕊️
I would say here here if it is voluntary the question becomes what do we do if that is not enough? War, pestilence, famine does not seem to be enough in this world of technology and raising life spans where there are too many old for the young to support. Thanks Cryptic for the read and listening to my rants
True. Quite a quandary 🙏🏻🕊
Thought provoking write, rightly highlighting the important issues of today , although I wouldn't say it is all down to overpopulation, nicely composed
Thanks Tobani for the read and comment of support. You are right nothing is all or nothing it is just a large component that must sooner or latter be delt with.
You are very welcome
Good write SB. KP says 'Too many meals of sewage'. I reply 'That's all you're getting, dear!' LOL.
Hey Orchi there have been several other poems offering those tasty tidbits that she likes. Maybe you have read them. Thanks for the read and comment it's appreciated
Well said,Soren.Your poem inspires a sense of urgency around the multitude of interconnected social and environmental issues resulting from overpopulation.

Thank you Friendship for the read and comment that serves as encouragement and inspiration
It's too late now .Let's wait the armaggedon with a serene heart !
Thanks Lorenz I probably won't be here then but my children and grandchildren may well be. Appreciate the read
And thank gauld there is only one Donald Trump 🤣 this is so powerful and so very true, over populated with greed, hate and material minds too, not enough compassion or empathy, not enough kindness not enough peace not enough thought for our planet, too much of who needs to be rich and have the best of everything, too much social media and too much internet influencers. But who the hell am I to tell! Fabulous and thank you for allowing me to have a rant I never do 💜
Thanks so much my friend for the review and supportive remarks. Any animal when overcrowded becomes vicious, and lacks normal behaviors even eating one another and even their own young.
Unfortunately, that's what going on in our world. Let's do our best in our part of the world we're at and be kind to each other...
Thanks so much for the read and words of support they mean a lot.
This is powerful and really gets one to think about the state of the planet and our pervasively negative effect over it. Wonderful job, Soren! 🌹👏
