Matsuo Bashō
Bad Haiku
Haiku #47233
The hands of a clock
Marking the inexorable oblivion slide

Our ambitions cut
as are our lost desires
Our wants and our beeds

Slowly dawns on us
the truth we stumble upon!
we are just mortal

The end comes for us
no longer Gods of sixteen
Our life's nearly gone.
Haiku #47233
