Family strangers
Youngest — I am odd one out
Mission accomplished
Hurled into this mad, mad world
Did I really choose this fate?

Travelling in the Wilderness (Tanka)

Tanka: ‘Remember, Remember’
Pennies for the Guy
Heroes portrayed as traitors
History repeats
A dime has duality
Turn over the other side

Tanka: ‘Dark Times’

Tanka: Under the Sun
Crises sharpen minds:
Escaping to the country
Starting a new life
We must reclaim who we are
Our freedom under the sun

Tanka: Mad Situation
Did I ask for this?
Who’s forcing it upon me?
I say take it down
I will refuse to kowtow
My life is always my own
