Such a poignant and necessary haiku series, Dolores. Greed does run amock slaughtering our boys and girls, innocent children and families as well as soldiers.
ReplyDeleteThank you for writing these - the greedy ghosts are murdering our kids, starving our people ... So well done, Dolores --
ReplyDeleteAh yes, sigh ... Greed is such a terrible aspect of our human nature, with its children of "Ignorance" and "Want" ... well written haiku!
