The clouds are weeping
There’s barely a breath of wind
Dankness is the day

Old worlds and old ways
The past was not primitive
Yesteryear solace

Haiku: Place Your Feet Here

Pavement procedures
Signs and symbols painted on
Who will remove them?

The middle man confuses,
removes us from reality,
the nature of the enemy.
The chaos of this world
mimics the frenzy of our minds,
the history buried deep,
the forgotten glory of the past
which we cannot see.

What really happened
Annihilation more than once
Save us from this fate
