Patriotic nationalistic
Isn’t an on of button
Or when it suits you.
Pride in your country
Isn’t just about a flag
Or coming home
in a body bag.
Patriotism is love
Patriotism is kind
Next step is nationalism
Bring on the hate
Im better than you
Oh dear humanity
As eaten itself
Wow to late.

In warmth autumn drifts
Rosehips blaze the path with red
Midst sweet sparrow's song
Modern haiku nature
There are things in life
That seem so frightening—
Yet, as time goes by,
They reveal themselves
To be so simple
That I wonder
Why I didn’t start sooner.
I know
you will always watch over me—
as if you were a god,
a saint,
a priest,
someone who loves me,
adores me
without condition.

But humans
don’t fall in love with gods.
