As the sea is blue,
And I belong in my land,
Cold winds engulf you.
This is my first Haiku

There was once a warrior, long long ago, who didn't know what to do, didn't know where to go, to run from his enemy, to hide from his foe.

The duel was fierce, the tides were his, but, when his nemesis he was about to pierce, a silent arrow was released to fly, cutting flesh, it entered his thigh, and so, he was left there to die.

Close to his end, he had a dream, and there before him, stood the forest queen, and said onto him: I give now life onto thee, but if you waste it on revenge, don't turn back to me, try to lead a good life, live it to the full, forget your old life, and don't be a fool!

As she came, the good fairy vanished, and the man went on his way, from his hometown now banished.

He built a new life, far far away, where no one could find him, and hands on him lay. 

But his enemy was smart, he was no fool, he was searching for our man, with rage as his fuel. 

The good man got word of the nearing danger, from the town people, who saw the menacing stranger.

He got tired of hiding, so he strung his bow, took his sword, and faced his foe.

Once again he had to fight, but this time, there was peace in his mind.

He searched not for revenge, so his head was cool, his enemy however, acted like a fool: for he was swinging his sword from side to side, so the archer from behind could not shoot an arrow he could not guide.

Once more the hero was winning the fight, so the archer pulled the poisonous arrow back with all his might, and let it go on it's deadly flight.

A gust of wind then blew from among the trees, changing it's course, riding the breeze, the arrow slid past the innocent fighter, and pierced the heart of the treacherous hearted rider.

When the dust cleared, only the good was left standing, after a long fight, over his dead enemies panting. 

Plain justice was better than any revenge, now his life, for the better would change, he could go back to his old home, or he could start a journey alone, for now he was free, he didn't have to hide, and so, no fear was left in his mind.
I wrote this little story one windy afternoon in the park, but it's a rather simple and childish tale...

They don't understand
Why I don't want to
Spend 40 hours a week
At some office

I work part time

Too many interests

Money is power

The more money you have
The more important of a person
You are

That's a horrible thing
To teach someone

I don't know what
To say

He keeps doing the same
Things
At the same times

They despise me
Because I'm poor
Money is their master

In this corrupt
Financial system
Oh dove how are you so bright,
when I the Crow so dark?
We both are,
but bird's lost in flight.
But I fear the Strawman's bark.

You, a target of gluttony, lust, and greed,
Pure of heart but long for that addictive seed.
And I, the blackened crow am shot by scorn
You are the rose by which my heart is thorned.

And you my blackened crow,
Your lie so simple
Why can't you be?
We are the same, but different.
Your ignorance and blindness set you free.
I too fear, but spiritual pestilence.
You are bound by the hands of ghosts,
shaded in death, you show bliss
In your sorrow day by and tomorrow,
you'll wait: a bird on a post.
No, I am not another witch, though it's been sometime since I got ditched
Once I was a peach, that's the same thing that made me bewitched.
All I ever hated was to be in these skies, My only dream was to be in that grounds
I thought it was the real heaven, I should've asked my Lord for an expound.
Today I stepped my foot on the floors, just to get sold in pounds for pounds.

No, this ain't any fiction, My Dear, it's the story of my eviction,
for my misapprehension of 'the crucifixion.'
Lord, please help me to get these wings stitched,
Lord, please help me to make my mind all cleansed,
As I now know that you would come, when this moon turns 'blood red'
