Introduction

Troubled by a continuum of conflict, with an apparent variety of causes, dominating our existence I asked why? The answer is a question of meaning I present in a poem, a precis and an essay each aptly titled "The Last Why". All other writings are derivatives. I welcome comments and much appreciate sharing. Thank you. Doug.E.Barr

ECONOMIC REPORT 11/08

These days our god Economy
Is everyone's concern.
She's sick so 'doctors' study her
To see what we can learn.

When she is sick she can't supply
The cash she needs to give,
Which we then spend and spend on her
Just so our god can live.

Thus 'doctors' try to figure out
How do they stimulate
The health of our Economy
So jobs she can create.

We fear that if the 'doctors' fail
To keep our god alive,
Our social structures will collapse
And we will not survive.

Two thirds of her lifeblood is what
The 'doctors' realize
We need give to Economy
To stave off her demise.

What does it say about us when
To something we create
We give the power that allows
Our living to dictate?

It says we are ridiculous
To be at such an end
Where god Economy tells us
Our purpose is to spend.

AIG: altogether in greed

AMERICAN NIGHTMARE: the dying Economy

ECONOMIC ABSURDITY

HUMANS SACRIFICED to ECONOMY
