ayn rand said greed came
from "the looters", we can say
who loots now tricked up

and so it goes, in cycles

seeking only peace
We are confronted by greed
How much is enough?

Signs that winters here
Yellow grey light speaks of cold
The wind stops for snow.

yup, will's good one about the stars...

cycles of death and
rebirth, the stomach of a
worm, the leaves of trees

the starlight close by
converts rot into new leaves
fruit, eaten, again...

the seed is contained
in each passing DNA
and to time's ending

Sorry im so late

Just wanted to say

That I am a male
Yes males are competitive
But complimentary

my flippant comment
is as much against myself
as anyone else

let me explain that :
we are all killing haiku
isn't that the point ?

i would implore you
don't take me seriously
i certainly don't

the box is a coffin
we all go to it in the end
me you, everyone

all is vanity
death is the universal

it is a fight to
be understood, and to die
the vanity, for they

did not want to understand
it was of no use

I've often wondered
if my faith can overcome my
genuine hatred

of the people who
post haikus on this website
that is the real life fight

going on in my spirit
as rediculous or entertaining
as it might seem to you

to me it is a battle
between mature response
walking away

or going ahead and treating
say ash's comment with a deadly
seriousness which

probably is way out of proportion to those who
would continue to

respond likewise to my reactions

it's vanity really
when one style says it is better
than someone elses

if it is thrown to
another less friendly crowd
lions to christians

you have been there
you should know better

whatever happened to
the raw clay of this golem
called the Net, did it

go mad because some dumb
Jewish mad rabbis made up
the mind to make it

work for them on the
days of Sabbath? does this beast
of digital clay

need to become clay
once again, devoid of life
remolded, and reborn?
