Hidden diseases
Blacken our hearts minds and souls.
An absence of love.

Smile at the weak,
Down-hearted and dejected
Take pleasure in relief.

Living in a dream
That is a nightmare to some,
Brotherhood of none.

Society seems to choose to cover their eyes to many issues that are right in front of them.

Exceptional and wonderful. Thank you for eye opening read. Look forward to reading more of your writings, they are simple but have such deep meaning. Sometimes we need that. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and hon you behold it.

Exceptional, Rebecca! Precisely the stuff we have been discussing and what's reflected in the comments to "I Am an American." Sadly, ironically, ?, this same tragic condition and behavior, this humankind's inhumanity to/upon itself was lamented by poet Robert Burn IN THE 18TH CENTURY - and nothing, except the players, the numbers, and the name-calling terms, has changed. (See "Man was Made to Mourn," by Robert Burns - especially, the 7th stanza). Continue to speak, Rebecca - at least, some may yet hear and change. Always, Michael

Stellar, Rebecca! I especially like the dark reality of the first. If you like, please take a look at The Haiku Society of America | Museum of Haiku Literature Award Collection |1981 - 2007 at http://www.hsa-haiku.org/museumhaikuliteratureawards/museumhaikuliterature-award.htm ... Given the recent I-4 deathtrap, this one seems relevant: jackknifed rig [line one] the trooper waves us [line two] into wildflowers [line three]. May the muse be with you, Michael

Nice haiku. Have you ever read Jack Kerouac's haiku (or haikus, as he calls them)? It's always fun to look at Western haiku versus Eastern haiku.
