Why


Why am I thinking
To write 
To type 
The sound the blackberry curve 9360 makes 
Creaks and breaks
Unlike the silent iphone

Something is not right 

If all was well 
I was happy and content 
Perhaps question the universe and my place in it I would not

I don't look forward to tomorrow 
I want to write I hate living 
But its wrong even if its true 

Each morning 
The big why 
I can't answer 
Inside I look 
Answers aren't there 
So I dodge past 
Make coffee 
Eat breakfast 
Get dressed
Pretty soon the question is almost gone 
Maybe I'll be dead before tomorrow 

Its the hunger 
I know it 
That's killing the planet 
I don't have it bad now 
But I have had it bad before

Goals
Sales quotas
Growth 
An Emaciated crack user sitting on her haunches searching the cracks in the pavement for non existant crack for the third time 

Now I am not hungry to swallow the world 
But I was 
Starving
Voracious 
Take my credit card 
Let's order another round 

So I know 

I don't want it anymore

the beginning of civilisation - Göbekli Tepe

http://www.smithsonianmag.com/history-archaeology/gobekli-tepe.html?c=y&page=1 'To Schmidt and others, these new findings suggest a novel theory of civilization. Scholars have long believed that only after people learned to farm and live in settled communities did they have the time, organization and resources to construct temples and support complicated social structures. But Schmidt argues it was the other way around: the extensive, coordinated effort to build the monoliths literally laid the groundwork for the development of complex societies.' Interesting theory - but why? What was the problem building temples solved? Why was building temples cheaper than the alternative? what was that alternative? 'Hodder is fascinated that Gobekli Tepe's pillar carvings are dominated not by edible prey like deer and cattle but by menacing creatures such as lions, spiders, snakes and scorpions. "It's a scary, fantastic world of nasty-looking beasts," he muses. Whi

1 cubic mile of oil

to create the energy we get from oil by least expensive means - wind - we would need to spend an extra $10 trillion and would require an area the size of three new zealands http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cubic_mile_of_oil The world consumes approximately 3 CMO annually from all sources. Source CMO/yr Oil 1.06 Coal 0.81 Natural gas 0.61 Biomass 0.19 Nuclear 0.15 Hydroelectric 0.17 Geothermal <0.01 Wind+Photovoltaic+Solar thermal <0.005 Installing capacity to produce 1 CMO per year requires long and significant development. Allowing fifty years to develop the requisite capacity, 1 CMO of energy per year could be produced by any one of these developments: 4  Three Gorges Dams , [14]  developed each year for 50 years,  or 52  nuclear power plants , [15]  developed each year for 50 years,  or 104  coal-fired power plants , [16]  developed each year for 50 years,  or 32,850  wind turbines , [17] [18]  developed each year for 50 years,  or 91,250,000 rooftop

you - middle aged me - you: your grandparents were the king and queen. their dominion seemed without end. few dared to challenge them and when they did they were crushed. they sponsored great artists, scientists and engineers, and the feasts i remember went on for days. but in they end, they were very very sick, and they died. we tried everything. the best doctors came and tried the latest operations. they got the best medicine. nothing worked and finally they passed away. at was then that i found out they were deep in debt. they had sold everything. the land and everything under it. the oceans and everything in it. they had left nothing. but that's not true - they had left behind the waste.
