the futrure of Europe
Future
Europe
Have many old people
We need
Young people
To replace the aged
If we are to, continue
As nation states
Europe is big and
Underpopulated
We deny entry
To the millions knocking
On our doors
We atrophies
Into senility
Fearful of changes
But Europe of yesteryears
Is not like it is today
And Europe of
Tomorrow
Will not be as it now.

This is a very timely poem that really addresses what people need to hear and consider. One of the strengths of the poem is how the speaker comments on his/her opinions as to the state of Europe. What I think is fascinating about the speaker is that he/she doesn't say how they *feel* about it but deals with the topic in a very logical way. There is no overt fear or concern, it simply the state of things. An interesting choice!
The ending was the most rewarding for me, it gives food for thought without being too heavy-handed. I think the poem is a major accomplishment. Thank you for sharing your work.
