Broken / Rambling Haiku Poem by Eric Cockrell

leather boots, hands worn
dark shadows beneath tired eyes
house on fire, broken

small child, hungry eyes
lips tremble, hands reach for you!
across miles, broken.

President, homeless
CEO, without a job.
debt explodes, broken.

turtle crushed, car gone
Casey's baby, same damn thing!
no respect, broken.

cancer's shadow, fear!
poor people cant get no care.
let them die! broken.

down to the river
baptize me again, stay down!
call me home! broken.

man needs a woman
woman needs a man as much!
alone, lost broken.
