Malthusian - Acrostic

Man man must conquer, trust that Time
At last last laugh will have, fast see
Life – Mr.’s Mrs.’ Ms...tery –
Turn to worm, return not: - crime?
Here hear a moral dressed in rhyme:
Unless we learn, earn modesty,
Some sum of all we’ve come to be
In bed-rock locked will, stocked in rime,
Await a race who race with light
Near Earth’s girth, - berth? – they won’t alight!
