Haiku

by Tony Spencer

Wanting to belong,
Searching for a friendly face,
But they pass him by.

Time beyond measure,
Long before mankind intrudes,
Mountains born from stone.

Finally eyes close,
The spirit travels elsewhere,
Leaves this world behind.

Come and watch the show,
Slow death of society,
Cameras your eyes.

All around the world,
Hostilities abandoned,
Brotherhood of man.

As the sun sinks down,
Shadows emerge from hiding,
Light of reason gone.
