Parental Procreation Permit

"The WE Earth program holds 2 billion of the human species. Not counting illegal slaves or temporary aliens. The poor and sick will be just written off. Human population is to be reduced to much safer level. A 7-step evolution program has been implemented. Four steps down, three to go..."

Our world was choking, no air to breathe

Our numbers were growing at alarming speed

Millions were starving, dying of thirst

So the system started controlling birth

The heat was searing, the rivers dry

Stars disappearing in a toxic sky

Mass unemployment, substance abuse

Could be avoided, or at least reduced

If you want to create a life

You've got to be qualified

Now you need to earn it

If you want to propagate

First prove you can educate

Parental Procreation Permit

No more war and destruction

No more climate disruption

No more crime and pollution

Now we've got the solution

Parental Procreation Permit

The streets were jammed,

The roads were blocked

The prisons crammed, the borders locked

Eco-degradation, pollution and disease

Crippled our nation, posioned our seas

Are you sure you can raise a kid?

Have you got what it takes?

Are you sure you can pay for it?

There's no room for mistakes!

Are you sure, can you take the risk?

Protect and keep it safe?

Are you sure, I am not convinced!

Parental Procreation Permit!
