6799. PILLAR TO POST

PILLAR TO POST
Essential derives from need, and necessity
is the mother of all invention. And I've heard all
that before. The houses come tumbling down  - 
cranes and bulldozers spinning their trash. 
And why is that  -  alas, need, again? 
-
Mankind grows a stepping stone, the exponential
growth goes sideways. My 'two' kids have two
kids each, and if they too have two, that suddenly 
makes fourteen in about twenty years. Needs push
the envelope; they have to go somewhere.
-
Thus things tumble down  -  the human resets
the stage upon which they play. 
Everything moves around when
the curtain goes down.
