It Is Your Fault!

I sit and do nothing.

It is your fault.

I can’t find a job.

It is your fault,

The government will not help me.

It is your fault.

My neighborhood sucks.

It is your fault.

My poverty is my struggle.

It is your fault.

I don’t care about anything.

It is your fault,

I hate your God.

It is your fault.

So tell me angry person.

What is your fault?

Captain Caveman – A Haiku

Thawed from an ice block

A prehistoric caveman

A great crime fighter.

Pre-Flight, check controls.

On tarmac, clear with tower.

Thrust down the runway.

Your element and mine bond.

Things are compounded.

Taking only what they need

For survival in the cold

Duck, beaver, otter,

With venomous ankle spurs.

Foraging rivers.
