Bad Haiku
Horrible poetry for the digital age
29 Years, 78 Days and 78054 Haiku later...
cars sulk in the shade
as blackbirds settle above
relieving themselves

truth is those even
i, in bondage to pain could
even hear of the

pain of a child or
unknown other, so addicts
laugh, because they want

to die, for it f-ing
hurts, so if I feel bad, it
feels good to say no

one loves you, for they
themselves are blind by pain to
love, truth, and live dead

I wonder these who
write abortion and suicide
poems don't think

of the coathanger
or the weapon that could have
ended their being

but in the end self
is evil and would punish
other's evil "fun"

for we are sodom
we are gomorrah but no
judgement comes nigh

it's easy for me to
be mad when I feel stuck in

honest, I'm afraid
to leave that rut because I
don't know how to leave

signals to do something and
some do bad things but...

some do good things with
these signals of anger or joy
an alarm, of sorts
