This is a beautiful visual with words to match. If we could immerse ourselves in the world the way children do, what a world we would have.

That Haiku was meant to be geopolitical in nature, however, in retrospect your insight on the domestic nature of its possibilities is sadly, true as well..

Nice haiku. So much meaning in so few words. And you even added a rhyme.
I enjoy haikus, as well. It’s fun to see what you can say without using a lot of words.
