Poetic Verses
This Growth
As always there is talk about the growth in the world's population
And this can be enumerated as more than five billion
Certainly in time this over time have an impact
On many of those resources and this is now a fact
Let us look at the growing demand for shelter, a house
It is so unbelievable to see what difficulty such poses
Cutting down trees, and in some cases reclaim land
All this though needed can destroy an ecosystem
As transportation increase that many traffic, now a great load
As many have to commute using those many roads
Collectively the amount of exhaust fumes from those many vehicles
Increase the number of pollutants in the air, adding to our troubles
And many of the requirements for the day to day living
Need some form of energy so essential for proper functioning
This can come from natural gas, and the mainly used oil
And these can be extracted by digging deep into the soil
Then that threat of seeping into the underground system of water
This action can certainly is one that can be a bother
In some cases this fuel be obtain in waters far from shore
And spills can damage marine lives, causing problems even more
Yes the farmers too, whose roles are so important
Providing needed food, vital for our needs and sustenance
But many of those pesticides, along with the fertilizers
Can too present to us that added potential of pending dangers
Human growth have too resulted in larger garbage production
So tightly packed, ideal conditions for many chemical reactions
Products like methane, and carbon dioxide into the air pour
And these to the protective ozone layer, put a pore
Also raising the temperature higher that it was before
This growth have impacted those things that were natural
Have created that need to make more products that are synthetical
How this increased in those important ones like the pharmaceuticals
But in this there can be a byproduct that overtime accumulatively can be harmful
We must be prepared for this continued population of the world to grow
And of course many of those inherent and other problems shall be in tow
But if the leaders of the nations, can devise a sustainable and workable plan
To stem the damage done by greed to this beautiful land
And this can be enumerated as more than five billion
