Disguised flattery
Delusionally earnest
Disgustingly done
Blast from the Past:
Sickening theory
But reality is more
Sophisticated
The Cracked Door – Daily Haikus
Reflections on life, the world, and society. Come explore with me.

Disguised flattery
Delusionally earnest
Disgustingly done
Blast from the Past:
Sickening theory
But reality is more
Sophisticated

When you truly look
Into someone’s eyes, you see
The child they once were
Blast from the Past:
It may take some time
Till you glimpse the inner child
Behind the tantrum
(This article I wrote describes the idea of looking at other adult’s inner child in more detail.)

I’m the void you shout
To, and all I do is dare
To ask questions back
Blast from the Past:
Dig even deeper
It continues to lie there
Even deeper still

In the gulf between
What we are and ought to be,
The satirist digs
Blast from the Past:
Satire reminds you
That your system’s an idol,
And that provokes you.

Where is
The breath of life
For these dry bones?
Blast from the Past:
Their story of me
Ends as my tale continues
Defining itself

Eating food with friends
On the side of the mountain
As the fog comes in
Blast from the Past:
Tonight we ponder
How we are cramped together
On this big planet

Each day that you work
Just brings you one day closer to
When they will fire you
Blast from the Past:
Earn your right to sit
At the table to listen…
Be silent and paid

Violence:
The continued quest
To win the competition to
Become carbon first
Blast from the Past:
You cannot have both
Dialoguing with evil
Violence would be fine

How come humans can’t
Enjoy what we have without
Suffering for it
Blast from the Past:
Very few people
If they knew the harm they’d cause
Would still go do it

My brain is pounding.
My limbs throb everywhere.
I can barely move.
(I’ve been sick for the last few days, in case you were wondering while I wasn’t able to post haikus for a few days. I wrote the haikus each day but was just unable to come online and post them. You should see them posted over the next few days.)
Blast from the Past:
The snot in my nose
Will there be a limit to
How much I blow out
