Why create a hole in the ozone layer?
And then why be a sun screen lotion seller?
Why cut the oldest of evergreen trees?
And then why blame pollution on the factories?
Why pollute the purest natural matter?
And then why sell packaged drinking water?
Why sell all tobacco based products to them?
And then why have statutory warnings on them?
Why allow alcohol consumption?
And then why warn of its evils with gumption?
Why search for a shoeshine boy, as a favour?
And then why condone the child’s labour?
Why use artificial synthetic material so plastic?
And then complain about children going spastic?
Why pollute the blessed pure air?
And then why blame others as so unfair?
Why pay the corrupt officials a bribe?
And then why blame the system of your tribe?
Why elect the crooked unscrupulous politicians?
And then why blame them for their manipulations?
Why really live like this at all?
And then why whine and blame, et al?

Why am I asking so many whys?
Why this, why that, while time simply flies?
Come on, do you know the answer honey?
Its simple greed for more money, ain’t it sonny?
