humans’ historic

continued technology

commonality

(“The people may be made to follow a path of action, but they may not be made to understand it.” Confucius 551-479 BCE)

pointless attitudes

skeptical skills and virtues

endless platitudes

Politics’ current

intelligence insulting

provocation theme

‘\_0_/`

one group’s contentment

is reason for the other

group’s discontentment

realists, idealists

death, taxes, war and the poor

certainties of life

social media

amplifies cold civil wars’

heated discussions

goals to a full life

self-actualization

food clothing shelter

always persevere

life’s enjoyed events eclipse

life’s endured ordeals

Zen mind poet mind

writing mind practicing mind

all is the same mind

don’t see self as self

in the phantoms of the mind

hope’s hollow as fear

There is perfection

and there is imperfection

and that is perfect

The solitary

journey to enlightenment

span millennia

fulfill interests

be self-taught self-accomplished

thinking for yourself

The ancient masters

need not be imitated

just seek what they sought

from historic earth

an eternal universe

out of nothingness

(#USMC #vietnamwar #warpoets #haiku)

changing circumstance

instant battle reaction

warrior’s trained mind

(“One who excels at warfare compels men and is not compelled by others.”-Sun Tzu-BCE)

Crafted syllables

from diverse thoughts liken to

varied iceberg tips
