Why

be kind life is short

Why

Why 

Americans open potty mouth 
Elections bring out worst 

unfriend them on Facebook, but

eat their homemade cookies;

but curse their mother-

 your freedom words online

let loose your filter. 

Century wood stove flings

burning shit on their name.

Why?

Car cut you off Nürburgring?

Hail horn, pull out a 22 bought

from rude Cabela's clerk.

You said "go fuck hell."

Okay, your grammar faults,

ask for a case for the gun 

because you're entitled.
Clerk goes home hungry from his
minimum wage job.

Why?

Dog on internet snuggles a baby, 

makes tears come out; but a child 
flooded, homeless, kidnapped, 
orphaned by bombs...

skepticism stops you from typing, 
"What do you need?
Give 50 cents to corrupt Red Cross.

Why ?

Dog has a heart.

Your core has love let it out,

empathy grows aching,

no-one taught chase 
a ball with 'fever love:

clean water, education, safe.

You know answers

 ready to show,

not cop out, say, "I'm

voting and reading words," 
because every step

 we Must ask:

WHY?
