Exactly Which Would You Prefer

An Earth Day poem about the effect of human population on the environment: Exactly which would you prefer: A cradle or a conifer? Rejoice in each new soul, of course, Though too much life pollutes the source. Human life, especially, Defies its own ecology And demonstrates that less is more. Your preference awaits, therefore. © by Nicholas Gordon To see this poem on my site, go to https://www.poemsforfree.com/exact1.html.
