Malthus - Overpopulation

World population is growing
in geometric progression
causing shortages of essentials
leading to worldwide depression,
from a population of 1.65 billion
over a hundred years ago
to 6.71 billion did we grow,
projecting a doubling
after next century's flow
with the Third World expecting
the most significant overflow
but Europe, with a negative
birthrate will fall way below
while water and food in Africa
and Asia will be running low,
in the West pollution, decadence,
unemployment and depression
shall cause their regression,
only starvation and war
have solved those problems so far,
therefore the future we seek
looks rather bleak...
