The Cracked Door – Daily Haikus
Reflections on life, the world, and society. Come explore with me.
Poems about society
They sell the water
That does not quench. Buy and
Drink forevermore.
Blast from the Past:
They know when you’ve been sleeping.
They know whether you’re awake.
They know when you’ve been bad or good.
So buy for profit’s sake.
A cute lil puppy
Climbing, jumping, and eating
In a pile of trash
Blast from the Past:
What is our vast wealth,
Our millions upon millions?
Piles of rotting figs
Oh to the quagmire
That is ethics when your world
Is built on empire
Blast from the Past:
Some are shrewd. Some rash.
All live and die in their place
For Heaven’s Mandate
Falling in between
Unsupported, forgotten
Light shines through the cracks
Blast from the Past:
Even the outcast
Has dignity among the
Daisies in the field
Given a weapon
Told to fulfill his “International Duty”
Tore villages to pieces
To return as pieces in a coffin
For a broken mother
Blast from the Past:
Killing the “bad guy”
As if only destruction
Will curb deviants.
Watching laundry spin
Rolling up, only to fall
An endless cycle(Or at least for 30 minutes, but after that load is done, there always seems to be another load.)
Blast from the Past:
Pleasure comes and goes
Followed by melancholy,
An endless cycle
Their gateway to hell
Bland hallway to pastel rooms
Painted by slave’s blood
Blast from the Past:
All that is hidden
Is not always revealed, but
Is always present.
Chill under a tree
Sitting and cracking open
A nice coconut
(The sun bear I saw today had the right idea for how to spend a rainy day here in the Bornean rainforest.)
Blast from the Past:
Retreat from the noise
Of a cluttered world crammed in
A barrel of greed
There on the front line
In between the heartless system
And the humans it hurts
Blast from the Past:
Why do we let our
Human lives be confined by
Our inhuman worlds?
Our heart builds callouses
So that we can seem to keep going
As the world just takes and takes
Blast from the Past:
Layer by layer
Learning what led to our world
A bottomless well
