“Be fruitful and multiply”

The First Commandment

Just as a lucky horseshoe works
Whether you believe in it or not
As long as the competition to pass down our genes
Goes on forever
Then everyone’s a winner
 
But with the collapse of birth rates
It’s game over
And all that’s left
Is to gaze at our screens
Dazed by the high score
Knowing we’ll never beat it
And not even wanting to try
