haiku are the capacitors, enabling complex thought and efficient transmission with limited waste and sustained conversion. epics and manifestos, by contrast, require a cooling mechanism or elaborate calculations for effective thrust upon the end system. This horrible metaphor will serve as my final complaint regarding non-haiku. These should be haiku first, and bad second. Otherwise, we're merely dealing in bad writing, such as this.

when a person has
nothing more to declare war
on if this is their

life to live, does it
end like abbie hoffmann, turned
inward and explodes?

or do they find a
new reason to live and try
something different

Another quitter
bites the proverbial dust.
As all poets should.

All poets should die!...
Dye their hair bright orange and green.
Run up to strangers.

Assail them with
unwanted poems and filth.
And slowly kill them....
