Today's Verse Love Host, Sharon Roy, is rereading War and Peace and writing a haiku for every chapter. This is incredible and I really look forward to her finished, published work. Today, she is asking us to take a favorite/valued text or image and rewrite it in a haiku. I have recently read incredible, motivating books like Theo of Golden and others that leave me shaking my head with questions and contradictions, like Hillbilly Elegy.
“I don't know what the answer is, precisely, but I know it starts when we stop blaming Obama or Bush or faceless companies and ask ourselves what we can do to make things better.” J.D Vance (James Bowman)
You made it to the
Inner circle access where
Every decision
Could be questioned, why?
Yet you sell out beliefs for
Power, prestige, wealth?
You question those who
Talk of peace, making a world
Safer, better, more peaceful.
Deny roots, the gift
Education, prejudice,
Hopelessness, create
Incongruity
Abandonment, falsehoods,
Inconsistency
Why can't we learn that
People will lie, deceive for
Moments of glory?
