POPULATION

For those who don’t want to know that the human plague is making all life extinct because they believe they cannot do anything about it

KUNG FU TZ   (Confucius) SAY—- “Better to light one small candle than to curse the darkness”

When I was growing up the population of the whole of Australia was 9million

And the majority lived in the eastern states

The suburbs in South Australia were basically small country towns

We moved from Northfield to Salisbury

Which still had horse troughs in the main street and there were still farms with return veranda houses

We didn’t lock our homes or our cars

In the hot weather we slept on the front lawn

Small businesses treated people as valued customers

The bus driver would drop children off at their front door if it were raining

I could phone home from a public phone box even if I had no money

I just asked the operator to put me through

Everyone was friendly and they helped each other

Salisbury is now the suburb from hell

When I first moved to Goolwa it was basically a country town

Everyone said “Hello” whether they knew you or not

And small businesses treated us like valued customers and friends

These days no one says hello unless they know you

People are rude and impatient and only a few small businesses have been able to afford to stay in business

The meaning behind my story is that the human plague isn’t just bad for the ecology and other life forms it is bad for humans too

 A SHORT STORY ABOUT HEALING THE  BLUE PLANET

I wrote and published this sci fi short story a few years ago (under the above title) when the human population was only 7.4 billion:

(1st published 4th April 2017)

It is now  8 billion.

I wrote this short story as social satire and sympathetic magic

The idea that we were genetically engineered is from Mayan writings plus my belief that humans are not indigenous to the planet

The concept of translocation was once a practice pre Roman Empire and apparently still is in some so called primitive cultures

The idea that humans were livestock for the gods is mine but am sure others have thought this

I chose Ophiuchus because I was I was drawn to this constellation

I chose Kunapipi because I respect and admire the wisdom and spirituality of indigenous Australians I started writing the prequel the same year 2017 –but I still haven’t finished it – I lose my motivation because I don’t like scary stuff and it is where humans are grown as live stock by the “gods” –maybe I’ll finish it this year
