Parental License
By: Lalli
 
 
In China they kill babies!
It’s their form of population control
The People’s Republic of China calls it “The One Child Policy”
Only one baby per family or they’ll be slaughtered without mercy
 
Ok
They don’t officially kill babies
It’s only by scrutinized speculation that such accusations are made
But they do have a “One Child Policy”
Recognizing the need to decrease the rate of the over-populated Chinese
 
Population control
Is not in the too far off distant future
A worldwide problem that will have to be addressed
It’s the next logical step
If we do simple math
The human population has grown nearly ten-fold over the past three hundred years and has increased by a factor of four in the last century
Yet, we aren’t dying any quicker
In fact people are living longer while babies are poppin’ out at a faster rate than a virgin teenager’s premature ejaculation
So thank god it happened before the sex
Because do you think he’s ready to be a dad?
Being that its one of the most influential actions a person can make
The responsibility of bringing life into this world
Maybe we should have a license for parenthood
Since we already are required to have a Drivers license
Hunting license
Bartending license
Maybe we should have a drinking license too
For all those out of control drunks who can’t hold their liquor
Marriage license
Hell there's all kinds of licenses
I mean its simply a suggestion
But why should we not have a license determining who would be fit for parents?
Since it could help to eliminate the devastating pain of having a dead beat dad
A sad excuse for an abusive father
Instead of allowing a no good for a mother who doesn’t care
A self-inflicted drug addict in despair drowning her miseries with downers raise a child?...
why shouldn't we?...
So we can have another mentally traumatized kid lashing out against society for their more than disturbingly outrageous upbringing
Ever seen the movie Gone Baby Gone?
Because before long that child will become a product of their environment who was never given a real chance
Because daddy was never around and mommy kept talkin’ to the lamp
 
If we continue down this dead end path,
There will not only be the extinction of the human race
But we will end up murdering the one mother who deserves recognition in honor of our appreciation
With the words “mother of the millennium” scripted upon her trophy
The award goes too… the one and only…Mother Earth
Since she has always sacrificed to provide for her children
And she's never asked of anything in return
So out of respect for ourselves and for her
In an attempt not to over populate our planet lets try to quit reproducing quicker than rabbits
Providing our children with the opportunity to actually have the future, they deserve
Instead of a life filled with the turmoil of overcoming deep seeded issues
All because we had a moral dilemma with having an abortion
But never saw a moral dilemma with the consequences of pre-martial sex
Or maybe, we’ll never accept responsibility
And we’ll carelessly keep lettin’ just anybody have a baby

Amen to that!

I loved where your muse took you in this journey of 'social consciousness" which you are
so adept at. I like your writes very much and bemoan the fact that I can't always get the
time to read. Please send me requests to read ok?

Good job Lalli.....and good to read you again my friend.

Unfortunately it's the people who can least afford to have babies that are the ones who reproduce like rabbits. I think this just all goes back to providing health care to lower income families....

It's a sad state for sure
