Where And Why Poem by shimon weinroth

why should anything, good for me
be good for you,
only numbers can be equal,
call it semantics or symbols

read your Bible, brothers rarely got along
each wanted what the other had,
Heraclitus says the state of war is justice
that was twenty four hundred years ago,
Ares ruled and the god Mars was yet to come,
World Wars are of this century

what makes you think
equality and fraternity
are anything more than mere slogans
what do you do unto others-

Plato's cave, Nietzche's cave, and misanthropes
ask why they can't
enjoy the hoax of privacy,
where is Mother Teresa,
did she get to heaven too
just like Princess Di
