Why Ask Why
Mommy,
why do we need Presidential Alerts
right now
before I've finished my ice-cream dessert?
Because he's a scary guy
my son.
Why is he so scary?
Because he's a bully against health
and patriotic loyalty to Earth's future
multicultural life,
my well-nurtured daughter.
Why is he against health care?
He's for his own wealth development.
Why is he for his own wealth care?
Because his mother never taught him
health care begins at home
and must have interdependent room
to cooperatively spread out from there.
Why does health have to spread?
Because otherwise true wealth dies.
Why does wealth die?
Because Earth's climate quickly turns
toward global glacial degeneration.
Why is Earth going to hell?
Because we made some bad choices.
Who is We?
and why did We make bad choices?
Because We have bad habits
of settling for empty sovereignty
of a failing adult supremacy system.
Why is our system failing?
Because mature adults fail to ask enough questions
of ourselves,
and then with co-arising healthy others.
