Matsuo Bashō
Bad Haiku
Haiku #28934
I ask those who have a life
what is it that you have and
what makes it worth living
disdainful, selfish, petty
materialistic, brushing off
if you saw the blade slice the
wrist, would you be so nonchalant
if you could see the blood or
would you laugh and say, "let there be drama" and proceed
to act as if nothing happened...
you who don't deal well, I wonder
if your lives are worth anything
