Genetic Anomaly

PLAN POPULATION

In a country where there are far too many
In a place I once had been
In A dark time of many lives
That I can't say I have seen

There was a fool proof plan they made
To resolve a looming tsunami
Thinking to control what can't be controlled
They tried to manipulate lives like origami 

To restrict peoples' right to their future
Their rights to have a family
Allowing only one child per one pair
Very drastic it may seem

They were thinking for the whole nation
In an effort to fix the wrong
However things became worse for many
And people couldn't get along

In a nation of work and pride
Males were the prized
Selective breeding, illegal abortions, abandonment
Such terrible results from a plan thought so wise

What a foolish law was passed
That was so obviously a mistake
And as a nation they suffered
Far beyond they could contemplate

For the 10 years of the law
Few females were born or raised
In happy, content families in their lands
And yet the leader were still not phased

Until the problem became out of hand
They insisted to stay ignorant and blind
And now they feel the consequences
And wish they had changed their mind

Now abolished and recovering from the loss
Their mistake is for us to learn from
The whole globe will become over populated
Until we fix our wrongs

However as a sexist world we must sit and think, hard and long
To think of every flaw
So their mistakes don't repeat
And it doesn't just become another broken law
