Haibun - Methods In Madness

A monster spews fire under water, and the world goes helter-skelter.

It is a tsunami, they say, not knowing what exactly has caused the disturbance.

Animals have played safe, owing to their superior sensory powers.

It happens with emotions that spearhead movements –

Nnobody knows where the cause lies.

I see kind-hearted people falling prey,

Because their sympathy has been directed to a cause.

The evil guys know where their interest lies,

And play the role of influencers, not activists.

I hope the storm subsides, and people see methods in madness –

Separating fire, water and earth from the mist.

The key lies in getting priorities right

Invisible strings

Manipulating minds

Fragility wins
