From Rags to riches

Every second or two a child is born
The population clock goes on and on
Every one knows how serious the problem is
But no one really has a solution for this

The govt can’t make the strictest of rules for all
Because, if it does, it may a have a great fall
When our leaders have children nine or ten
How will they lead us out of this monster's den?

It’s every one's fault because no one cares
To come out and speak no one dares
We cannot hope that someone else will save
Its quite clear, we are digging our own grave

On one side we have unemployment and poverty
On the other, we have malnutrition and illiteracy
And the new born children, having nothing to please
Will share amongst themselves all of these

In this case, there surely would be a day
I can only hope, it is far far away
No education, no land, no house to rest
No fuel, no jobs, no food would be left

Lets come closer for a brighter day
To pluck it from the roots and throw it away
A girl or a boy, only one will do
So that we can give not only food,
But happiness too.
