A Puzzlement

If we really care about children  
why do we always send them off to war?  
 
if we really care about their education  
why do we let the school in the hood crumble?  
 
if we really care about sustainability  
why do we fill our foods with GMOs?  
 
if we really care about the planet  
why are we doing our best to exhaust its resources?  
 
if we embrace individuality  
why do we raise automotrons who refuse to question authority?  
 
if we crave knowledge and understanding  
why do we fill the airwaves with gossip and innuendo?  
 
If we embrace peace  
why do we invent new ways to kill?  
 
We can give answers  
but are we ready to implement solutions?
