Musings On A Waterplant

Musings On A Waterplant

And as I remember the many  beautiful water-plants, -weeds that now perhaps are extinct, which I can’t show you anymore while many are nearly extinct. There are almost no marshes now. The lakes, sawahs had them and I planted them in my fishpond. New cities, growing cities real estates, malls, factories, ... now take their place.

But this lovely waterplant I never saw before have I captured - sure no Grand Canyon, Niagara falls sceneries  to offer you – but perhaps you never might find, see the like again. 

Here she is, almost unnoticed and two dragonflies in a water paradise.

The young generation misses nothing. They never had seen a firefly, the sailing cranes, eagles, bats, owls, squirrels, ... except in a museum or pictures.

Who cares? Rulers are too smart, too clever, too educated, too busy, too reluctant, too short-sighted, until someday a wise ruler so far-sighted, rules the land. Instead, he is aiming after smaller growing cities,  smaller growing real estates, less malls, factories, ... back to paradise he insists, so unheard of, by lowering the population through birth control and so give a larger, better living space for all the living on the earth.  It’s just common sense, but it takes a very long, generations long of time, but a very short time, just a moment when we think that it takes hundred thousands of years to reach this high level of the world population of to day, he would say.

“If only you could forbid any man and any woman to have children, within a 100 years the world population would drop till zero, the human race extinct. Ha. Ha.” So opa Johan commented.
