Because
Who knows
Not the best of us
Nor the stargazers
Not the book readers
Nor the book writers
Especially not the politicians
Who never stop
To ask the question
Or to ask any questions
Their nature is to accumulate
Pretend to lead
Pretend to guide
Still, their nature is taking
Some pretend to tilt
toward compassion
Toward caring
Toward altruism
Me, a grizzled octogenarian
Asks no questions
Merely wonders
Where has all of the wonder gone
Is altruism real
And if it is, why is
It ******* by greed
