A knot prophesied
Whosoever unties me
Would conquer Asia

Alexander came
Split the knot with his bare sword
And so it came true

The Spartacus slave revolt

We have lived freely
Our lives are meaningful now
Rome cannot **** us

Haiku : 1453

Sultan Fatih came
Conquered Constantinople
And lo, Rome perished

Haiku : Israeli Soldiers

Aim their guns at kids
Batter unarmed civilians
Drag out families

Nothing but the truth

Haiku : Sufi martyr

"I'm the truth" echoed
Mansur effaced his ownself
He was crucified

Mansur Al Hallaj was crucified for saying " I am the truth", ie proclaiming divinity. Later on, it was said : he had forgotten his own identity in the remembrance of God

Haiku : life stages

Angsty teenagers
Adults with mid life crisis
Oldies stuck in past

Haiku : Lost

It is all lost now
No point looking here and there
Forget it , move on
