~ Haiku Game XVlll ~
With the breath of spring
Comes the sweet scent of flowers
The earth is blooming
The earth is blooming
yet struggling to survive
'Midst man's destruction
'Midst man's destruction
Nature will send an angel
To clean up the Earth
To clean up the Earth
Rainbow Warriors are needed
The undaunted few...
The undaunted few
Walk erect with their heads up
True human beings
True human beings
know and recognize their own
Weaknesses and strength
Weaknesses and strength
Two sides of the human coin
Fear is what flips it.
Fear is what flips it
Our emotional switches
But which switch is which...?
But which switch is which...?
Ask Mitch, she's the rich switch witch
"It's in the switch niche!"
It's in the switch niche
Perhaps we have hitched a glitch?
Now it's pitch or ditch!
Now it's pitch or ditch
The irritating itch twitch
If we reach the beach
If we reach the beach
"If" can add great doubt to the
Pessimistic mind
Pessimistic mind
And a negative attitude
Promote bad feelings
Promote bad feelings
Or spread lots of happiness
You'll reap the results
You'll reap the results
Of each seed that you've planted
Choose your seeds with care
Choose your seeds with care
And plant them in fertile fields
Not amidst the tares
Not amidst the tares
Should you look for an orchid
Only wild flowers
Only wild flowers
can enhance nature's allure
With untamed beauty
With untamed beauty
And wild abandonment the
Eagles leap skyward
Eagles leap skyward
soaring the clouds undaunted
On wings of freedom...
On wings of freedom
We are lifted up above
The sad, grounded throng
The sad, grounded throng
lacks the spirit that ignites
Imagination...
Imagination
Is the chocolate syrup
Atop life's ice cream
Atop life's ice cream
Lies those devilish delights
Daring and tempting...
Daring and tempting
to the senses of a man...
Two lowered eyelids
Two lowered eyelids
coquettishly signify
A true Southern Belle
A true Southern Belle
A graceful, modest lady
Tough as tempered steel
Tough as tempered steel
with their brave hearts honor bound
The warrior soldier
The warrior soldier
Protects all of us behind
The shield of his life
The shield of his life
bears a tattered crimson crest
Made of battle scars
Made of battle scars
Healed by the kindness of time...
Our oft broken hearts
Our oft broken hearts
hold lingering memories
Like songs never sung...
Like songs never sung
Or kind words never spoken
Our lives can be lost
Our lives can be lost
by indoctrinated fear
from our daily news...
From our daily news
We get the world's suffering
Give me a break please
Give me a break please
Let me sit on the porch just...
once with the big dogs
Once with the big dogs
You'll never want to go back
Among the puppies
Among the puppies
there's always the little runt
Little but mighty
Little but mighty
Are words spoken in anger
They cut like a knife
They cut like a knife
When racial slurs are spoken
By the ignorant
By the ignorant
Actions of the very few
Whole people are judged
Whole people are judged
Half their potential cut down
Quelling the spirit...
Quelling the spirit
Of others is great sport for
Inferior jerks
Inferior jerks
deal cheap shots and dirty deeds
using a stacked deck
Using a stacked deck
Is like writing a bad check
Trouble by the peck
Trouble by the peck
if you should heed your daring
Go on, what the heck!
Go on, what the heck
Kick up your heels a little
You're a long time dead
You're a long time dead
Lassez les bon temps rouler!
It grows late, mon 'cher
It grows late, mon 'cher
Light the candles, pour the wine
There is a full moon
There is a full moon
all brightly accessorized
with glittery stars
With glittery stars
Against the inky blackness
The night has beauty
The night has beauty
ever capturing the heart
ask any lover...
Ask any lover
Why they love and they will say
I don't know
I don't know
replies the dull unwilling
To solve conundrums
To solve conundrums
Divide enigmas by logic
You should get zero
You should get zero
when taking from another
A gain with lost trust ...
A gain with lost trust
Is not a real gain at all
A knife in the back
A knife in the back
Painfully penetrates our
best worn defense shields
Best worn defense shields
Cannot compare with a mind
Alert to danger
Alert to danger
Sharpen your inner instincts
Skills and awareness
Skills and awareness
The traits that will always help
The conscientious
The conscientious
Among hard working people
A nation's true strength
A nation's true strength
Lies in the people's morals
We're in big trouble
We're in big trouble
If we don't stand together
When facing danger...
When facing danger
Be sure your gun is loaded
Your knife well sharpened
Your knife well sharpened
but can you cut the mustard?
Or just talk the talk...?
Or just talk the talk
While you hope no one will make
You prove your courage
You prove your courage
and true steadfast bravery
with each battle won...
With each battle won
It becomes much harder to
Stop the winning war
Stop the winning war
when all you've done is taken
Lives and their country
Lives and their country
One can never be returned
The other's doubtful
The other's doubtful
and deeply pessimistic
Shrouded in darkness
Shrouded in darkness
and waiting with patience
The butterfly sleeps
The butterfly sleeps
in deep dreams of tomorrow
When beauty's revealed
When beauty's revealed
In all it's splendid glory
The world rejoices
The world rejoices
and will always laugh with you
But you cry alone...
But you cry alone
Even if you're in a crowd
The tears just don't show
The tears just don't show
except on TV and movies
Then they fall like rain
Then they fall like rain
Upon a sounding tin roof
Creator's drumming
Creator's drumming
Thunders across lightening filled skies
With cosmic grandeur
With cosmic grandeur
The galaxy keeps turning
A pinwheel in space
A pinwheel in space
running with skilled precision
Guided by God's hand ...
