Haiku....Mirage


Lost in barren wastelands
the glimmer of a river beckons
still ..... deathly hope! T'is only a mirage!


Crushed under the yoke of dictators
countries, peoples ... torn asunder
breaths of freedom, a mirage?

    That second one is relevant right now, right here in the U.S.

  2. Thank you jazzbumpa....and welcome to my world. I had the current middle East crisis in mind when I wrote the second one....don't know how this random chaos is going to play itself off.

  3. It was easy to guess the Gadaffi situation. Imagine having been ruled by an insane dictator for 42 years? Poor people!
