Haikus 41-45
 
  H41
Some stones are piled up;
Others cut and polished well,
Some called monuments!

H42
What waste of labor!
Building pyramids of stone;
That crumble with time!

H43
Men build huge temples!
Decorate them lavishly;
While souls sinful lie.

H44
God asks not for shrines,
In any place on this earth,
Except in your soul!

H45
They slice the mountains,
To build mammoth skyscrapers;
Which earthquakes flatten!
