Implications of this are vast
Number
projections very wide
Thrity
billion the upside
Numbers
such as this must scare
Starvation
anarchy everywhere
Well before
this number reached
Nuclear
arsenal unbreached
If
devastation to avoid
All our
wits must be employed
Providing
food for everyone
Controlling
violence; having fun
Now the
babies that arrive
With medics
help more stay alive
Doctors
thus affect the plan
By
extending our life span
Knowledge
clearly is the need
Controlling
numbers that we feed
Women’s
education key
Improving
world prosperity
Double
brainpower then applied
When new
ways to work are tried
Statistics
show where women free
A fall in
fertility we see
Some
religions play an adverse role
More
supporters is their goal
Sad
cultural influence is at work
Male
domination gone berserk
Following
blindly present trend
Global
anarchy is the end
Cultural
change is very slow
Now the
time right seeds to sow
What scope,
what opportunity
Might lie
ahead if all agree
On
technology to focus
Not on
wishful hocus pocus
Scientists
success to increase yields
Applied
techniques to farmers fields
Chemicals
in great array
Playing now
with DNA
Downsides
to this some people see
Hot topic
and controversy
There are
other ways could try
To ncrease
smart the food supply
We live in
globe that’s most exotic,
Surface
mainly is aquatic
From
pressures on the land be free
We must
find way to farm the sea
Fish farms
now all hug the coast
Caging
specieis that they host
Production
there we must constrain
If disease
wish to contain
Open ocean
– waters warm
Is not a
place where fishes swarm
Phytoplankton feeds food chain
Need to
focus on their reign
Scientific
test have clearly shown
Phyto
flourish where iron sown
Archaic
history still has say
Dictated by
their DNA
Fish need
natural food to flourish
Food chain
phytoplankton nourish
Complex
system – need be clear
What doing
when we interfere
Can I
present to you the notion
Cultivate
the global ocean
Living in
or on high seas
Building
new economies
Until our
numbers start to shrink
New food
production have to think
This leads
me to another theme
Of a new
and different World to dream.
