Kipling's Five?

How?
How, how,
how, and how - but never
what; Never where
and when; Never
why.

They sit on their couches,
fed on lines of sound
and light emanating
from that box that is
their new god and offer
the burnt oblations
of mind, thought, will,
and hide within the comfort
of the gilded cage
their complicit hand
has wrought whilst screaming
how!?

How?
How, how,
how, and how - but never
what; Never where
and when; Never
why.

They miss the greater four
of Kipling's five
and only wonder
How.

Who are these They? They
are the You.
