10 Maze of Life or Death Haikus (island style ) #1 Buy, sell, or succumb to
Maze with no exit
#2
Water: for sale Air: for sale
#3
Life, liberty, pursuit of happiness
Liberty: no-covid manipulated
#4
Education system rigged Dark Ideas If you do good, nothing dark clothed and evil can descend upon you
Black
wings: outstretched and enveloping
My
brain is fooling me again, as heaven is shining I see hell’s fire burning--- If I don’t get out of this whirlpool dragging me down to a made up watery-wicked grave---the only sucking sound will be me going down a hellish drain----
Maze
with no exit Food: for sale if we weren’t pretending we had a shortage

Education system rigged
Dark Ideas If you do good, nothing dark clothed and evil can descend upon you Black wings: outstretched and envelopingFor that matter, the more good I do in this world-the better I should feel Lies, lies, lies in my life As I prep to take care of them at a Christian school, as I get ready to wade again into this damned hero’s journey for the special kids who need a special teacher My brain is fooling me again, as heaven is shining I see hell’s fire burning--- They see and say love---but my brain blows bazookas in the peaceful huts The Navy seal says: “Embrace the suck!” If I don’t get out of this whirlpool dragging me down to a made up watery-wicked grave---the only sucking sound will be me going down a hellish drain---- Or, so I thought My version of a decent person, and your version of a decent person Vary in that I must fight my demons, my whole fuckin’ life from 0 to 60 From God-awful nightmares as a boy, to night terrors now as an old man
I go to help and I have to speak, I have to lead, I have to coach and bleed But, here I am-island folk making fun of me--when I try to help, only help Chances are, they are not laughing, they certainly are not crying---they are just being I take it personally I assume I keep my word I do my best It eats me up like a grizzly bear going into his bernation I’ll do the right thing, but I may bleed out-a ghost in a pool of blood---flowing out of a good heart
