The unanswered ones

Why do we claim peace
and create wars?
Why do we support animals
and eat them?
Why do we show off empathy
and plan politics?
Why do we smile our best
when there is no one around?
Why do we ask for trust
and then betray?
Why do we show blue
and feel red?
Why are we called “mankind”
and behave most unkindly?
