In 1972 I was given a BA(Math). I didn’t earn it for I was occupied by analyzing life. Math was useful when I found life is as simple as 1+1; and in carpentry.

It was my ambition to summarize all religious/philosophical writing. The summary is: ”Why am I?”, is the question of meaning that gave birth to humanity. There is no answer so it will be the last why. Tries to answer it are causing the death of humanity. I put it in the banner of my website. I wrote some rhymed reason to elaborate. An excerpt: By Nature’s God LIFE was inspired. To self-create lives were required With natural activities To reach out to capacities, To others, and to Nature’s God, A life that we should all applaud. Most lives had a creative past Exclusively; ours didn’t last. When given birth by “Why am I?”, Our ‘parents’ feared not knowing why. Unknowns they’d learned they should avoid And so they tried to fill the void, Unnatural activity Diminishing what we could be. By trying they broke Nature’s rule, Who searched for “Why?” would be a fool. Descendants tried to stem their fears In diverse ways, throughout the years. In doing so humanity Defined the word “insanity”. Results of tries remain unchanged Despite how they are rearranged. In vain attempts to fill the void More of the past we have destroyed. Destroying more life has to be The Age of Asininity. Destroying more life we could stop Just by returning to the top. It seems though we’ll repeat each verse But every time we’ll make things worse Until the worst concludes life’s rhyme Because we’ve just run out of time.👇more thelastwhy.ca/poems/2009/7/1…

More solar. More wind. More batteries. And also more fossil fuels, more atmospheric CO₂, and less biodiversity. That isn’t an energy transition. It is an energy expansion.

If we review our history back to the birth of humanity we will eventually be unable to find any aspect of present day religions. It is the measure of our asininity that we have since spent billions and perhaps trillions of dollars, cost millions of lives, and destroyed much of Nature protecting make-believe. an excerpt of rhymed reason: Religion is a human 'wrong' With which we try to fill the void. Humanity will not survive Unless religions we avoid. While hanging on to our beliefs To others we cannot "...reach out...", Depriving us of nourishment For life, we cannot do without. Religions aren't the source of 'rights', The traits that we consider good, And motivation making us "Do unto others..." as we should. Good traits and motivation are What let humanity survive Until the point in history Religions started to arrive. Since then religions have decreased The 'rights' that made humanity. Discarding all of them will help Restart the way we used to be, United individuals In common cause we all applaud, Becoming what we each can be, In part the face of Nature's God.👇more thelastwhy.ca/poems/2013/1/2…

Neither our prime minister Mark Carney nor the leader of the opposition Pierre Poilievre understand to the degree they grow the economy, which is their primary function, they suck the life our of our environment. They keep 'leading' the country as if there will always be a tomorrow. an excerpt of rhymed reason: Our vertical Economy                                 We worship as if it's a god.                         However, it is powerless, A pipe which we should not applaud. The power that it seems to have Is what we give Economy, We then enable to decide The life we have, what we can be. The power we all give to it Is generated as we try To fill the void that's in our mind, We find when asking, "Why am I?" In our attempt to fill the void We form a population cone Around the economic pipe, Each in a horizontal zone. Our tries to fill the void with cash Suck torrents of it out the top. Since more will never be enough The sucking force will never stop. One at the top sucks in the most. In zones below each one sucks less. And in the base zone just to live, Most often suck without success. The capitalist 'cone' we form Around the source of cash we need Divides humanity so we're Disintegrated by our greed.   Our tries have screwed our 'Mother' to The point she's taking her last breath. Our worship of Economy Will cause our Mother Nature's death.👇more thelastwhy.ca/poems/2012/12/…

A message to Prime Minister Mark Carney, please pass it on. To the degree we grow our economy we suck the life out of our environment. an excerpt of rhymed reason: While risks of global warming rise As CO2 clouds fill the skies We put Economy ahead Of forecasts that will leave us dead. It's asinine for us to place Life on this economic base So life success and failure rides On what Economy decides. One billion of us fail life's test, Seventy million pad a nest, The rest of us "fight tooth and nail" To get ahead so we'll prevail Despite the fact that at our end The cash we save we cannot spend.👇more thelastwhy.ca/poems/2009/7/1…

From 9 years ago, an excerpt of rhymed reason: Our climate’s breakdown is so fast, The why we live it may not last, A climate expert Hansen fears, Beyond the 2030 years. We're burning fuel for energy To power an economy We seem unable yet to learn When we set fires, it's us we burn. We're dying of increasing heat That kills us and the food we eat Directly, and too bakes the land Diminishing our room to stand That rising seas also decrease As melting ice caps all release More water than returns as snow. What's more there is decreasing flow From glaciers on mountain tops And where flows end life clearly stops. Increasing heat evaporates More water, so precipitates Amounts of rain beyond belief That dried out land can bring relief. The floods that take away our breath Are causing Mother Nature’s death. Another consequence is drought. To keep the land from drying out We suck up water from the ground Diminishing what can be found. A final unexpected drain Is water needed for the ‘brain’ That makes up A-intelligence Which is replacing Nature’s sense. Heat also melts the permafrost Releasing plagues that were long lost, And methane gas which kills as well. Heat too makes earth a deadly hell By raising our earth’s temperature  Beyond which our life can endure. The heat makes worse all hurricanes When now they hit not much remains. As heat is killing food we plant It heats the oceans so they can't Breath life into marine supplies On which humanity relies. It's heat that science also blames For turning forests into flames That burn Earth's lungs and also leave Her breath impossible to breathe. With heat and drought our deaths add up By flooding or an empty cup. Caused by the ‘death’ that fills the sky, We hear our ‘Mother’s’ plaintive cry Of mourning, for the view is stark. We're floundering and there's no ark. In ages past to stay alive We’d migrate, but we’d now arrive At places where all are bereft Because there’s simply nothing left.👇more thelastwhy.ca/poems/2017/7/3…

You are both wrong. Despair makes us want to jump off a high building. Hope make us hesitate, but sit and wait. It is wrong to divide us into 'they and we' or 'us and them' which seems to be the only way George thinks. an excerpt of rhymed reason: The strikes that Greta started were Indeed a wonder to behold.
