The  childless future

The modern way of living has made us soft
we forget life is a struggle to survive 
when we are safe and have reached the
top of the pyramid, the long view that is 
short and has in its grasp emptiness
with no more mountains to climb, we
sink into apathy because we have it all
and having it all leads to depression 
near is no freedom in modern life 
every moment is regulated into sections 
when to work, rest, and pay bills 
women have left their function of looking
after giving birth to a new human 
their demand to be equal to men has been
met, but it is a pyrrhic win
The male, too, has softened the minds of the
sexes are equalized, No need to walk into
the forest with an ax to slaughter pigs
and fight lions, the responsibility for survival
is no longer his to bother about
in this new over-regulated society, there is
no room for children, they are a hindrance  
in the illusion of happiness, women get to keep
a slim, sexy body until old. and men go to 
fitness clubs develop strengths and befriend
other men in a mutual self-attraction
Pornography replaces love that is unwanted
and only awakes the need for procuration 
There is no room for deity, Materialism is 
our dogma, there is nothing after us but sand
blowing in loss of meaning
