The inspirational story The Haiku Master by Takiko Morimoto (USA, 2014) set me on the path to writing Haiku poetry. The featured poems were written during the period 2011 to 2015.
THE POOR OF THIS WORLD
Their heads hang with shame
before the rich who fleece them.
The poor of this world.
SCRAPPED WORKERS
Left behind as waste
living on morsels debased.
When I'm scrapped, who cares?
ODDS & BITS
Living on the fringe
no house, no work, no dignity.
Left with odds & bits.
HUMAN BONDAGE
Toil in dead-end jobs Empty stares in long food lines. Of human bondage.
