A Haiku For The World Poem by Bashir Goth

Mankind goes high wire
Wisdom snails through the darkness
Cherry blossom in fall.

***
Children wail in school
Morality at gun point
Roses at bloodbath.

***
Old men lean on mics
Storms rumble on the horizon
Lilies wait to tumble.

***
Camels stand listless
Smoke rises from a factory
No tears from the sky.

***
Black bodies wash ashore
Diamonds on ivory necks
Drums beat in winter

***
Boats splash in water
Cheetah cubs whimper in bags
Soaring heat at dawn

***
Fish swims in sea slime
Dusky stars blink from the heavens
Gadgets light the earth.
