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

BARACK OBAMA: attack on greed

Barrack Obama says that greed
Has caused Economy to fail.
But what sustains our growing drive
For making money, to prevail?

It is the void we feel within
We find when asking the last why.
Although opposed to the ideal,
Eight ways to fill the void, we try.

One way we try to fill the void;
With money and consumer stuff.
The problem, we could have it all
And never ever have enough.

So legislation can't stop greed.
Barack Obama should get real.
Instead of making useless laws
He should be freeing the ideal.

Barack Obama: a cautionary view
Barack Obama: fighting for change
Barack Obama: my hope
Barack Obama: victory speech
Barack Obama: inauguration day
Barack Obama: professing change
Barack Obama: sacrificing lives
Barack Obama: healthcare
Barack Obama: his Gulf oil war
Barack Obama: winning the future

AIG: altogether in greed

I supported and campaigned for President Obama. He does not know it all. From your poem above, it is obvious you have some insight into human psychology that impels most of us to attain great heights of achievements.
