I am here to question why

I am here to question why  Why nobody sues iphone for crime against humanity?  When teenagers are selling their kidneys  To own that ridiculously dazzling stuff  Why are they not ashamed?

I am here to question why 

Why nobody sues iphone for crime against humanity? 

When teenagers are selling their kidneys 

To own that ridiculously dazzling stuff 

Why are they not ashamed? 


To use the dry and dead eyes 

Of half dead malnutrition children 

As a magnificently marbled staircase

To get in Forbes list of billionaires

Why it’s been the way of life?


To watch every day on television 

The big, broad and obscene smile of the planet heroes 

Whose favorite pastime is to play with democracy-toys 

And to carpet-bomb a country

Why those jokers wearing false noses 

Are convinced that everything’s alright?

And pretend to smell the goodness of the situation

Why they always declare war on flowers, on rainbows, on birds?


For being strikingly beautiful 

Why peace has been the luxury of well fed good breeds? 

Why it’s so simple that who can’t afford it don’t get it?

Why it’s never clear?


Do they first produce peace, bombs, bullets, 

War on terror and then terrorists?


Or do they first produce terrorists, war on terror, 

And then peace and then bombs and bullets? 

Why there are so many supermarkets and malls? 


And everyone is reduced to a buyer 

A frightened miniature 

Why this world is so bad, so ugly, so cruel, 

So cold, so painful, so merciless, so inhuman and so comical?


I am here to question why 

Why did I collect so many whys as if they’re jewels? 

Why I didn’t make them weapons?
