Human Development Indicators Poem by Michael Walkerjohn

Let US simplify, Humanity's H.D.I.
to the most basic elements of need...
Water, food, and fun; of these we all
agree to drink or swill or swim, to feed
or feast or famine; to smile or frown...
It is difficult indeed; to keep the first
three free of tag alongs, and come alongs
or singing sad songs about those things
I can not have because I want them!
To need or to want; this is 'the question'
'Whether tis a nobiliary', to accept what is
best for all or, just say 'frak it' and grab
all you can before the entire Earth...
STOPS SPINNING!
Whoa! think of the implications; for all
nations! People then, would become
PEOPLE MISSILES!
We are in that time; we are oh so primed...
For this to conceivably, so probably happen!
Is our combined H.D.I. so lowly and
suffering sad that OUR ONE 'DAD' must
give US this whopping?
