Bob Axell | One Hundred Haikus

A Hundred Haikus
By Bob Axell

The werewolf cries out
Deep in the darkest shadow
A challenge for me

I don't know much about
This world that we treasure so
and die for daily

The sun shines brightly
In a bright blue barren sky
Revoking this earth

Empty is my plate
My stomach rumbles loudly
The hate we live by

Don't try to fool me
Cause I am god almighty
I see all you do

Everyday the sun
Rises to this clearblue sky
Casts upon us heat

Relentlessly you
Get what you deseved so
Deaths joyful touch

The wagon you sit
By oxes dragged forthly
To the newborn world

Sunk deep in this book
The war rages on forever
Deep down in your mind

Are you truly mad?
Do you know what you have done?
To hell you will go

The moon glows in red
Reflects upon this dark world
Its eternal pain

Stand up and higher
Fly to this heavenly well
And dive down deeply

They stand in lines
They raise their heavy weapons
And they get shot down

In toledo steel
The sky was clouded grey
The ground was plain sand

My number is one
The foremost and finest and
The first of them all

The big book is big
And longtimesome to read through
And heavy to bear

Are you fraid of death
Do you dare to step bravely
into the new world

The young play with toys
The boys drives with fast mobiles
The girls clothe their dolls

I swim to regain
The energy I contain
And swim once again

This line has five words
And this line has two more words
And this one has five

A dollar a dime
I do not waste time or cash
Survival I stash

Will you be loyal
Do you swear obedience
Do you trust blindly

A warrior kills
For the war he fights inside
Without concience more

The roses are read
About in romantic books
The roses are red

Do you know my name
Do you know why I'm named by
The name that I have

I collect old words
And ninehundredninetynine
I had till defeat

Don't tread on me now
Don't push me down into the
Earth that I step on

The temple was made
For the gods of war and sun
For the lost and dead

For this brutal war
I have of empathy now
And I wait for peace

The title of sho
I had by my sorry side
Until the gun came

Am I getting old
These low foldings on my face
The tire in my eyes

I do not truly
Know the fools from wise men
What am I myself

There are laws to steer
To control and create fear
To tame the wild beast

Dream of freedom
Dream of a happy life
Dream very much

My footsouls are sore
I cannot walk any more
So I stop to rest

Am I still alive
There's a dream by my left side
I dare not hope more

Please show me a sign
So I know where to turn to
I follow your lead

Walk in my footsteps
Every night and every day
Slay the folk I slay

Do you believe in
Fiction and fairytales now
That a demon rose

Violets are blue
They sadden neith their burden
Of beauty and love

Where do we move now
That the ground has fallen down
And no bridge appeared

There is no life now
That the moon has fallen down
That the sun has gone

Zombies fiercly munch
On the prey that is their lunch
We humans shall fear

Prey on your dear prey
Then sleep soft out of their reach
And pray to the gods

We live in constant
Hate and love and loving hate
Fear of time and time

Dont forget your place
In the seven shades of grey
Remain true color

The word is widely
Known and feared by so many
The world is heavy

Mumon once asked me
Why the stars shine so brightly
I do not yet know

Trust in my skills now
And you will be skilled later
All patience is art

Soon night has fallen
The world embedded in black
Awaiting the day

You fear the unknown
You fear the fearful you know
You live in all fear

Screaming patriarch
Empires fall and crumble
This is true wisdom

Every single day
Many many many days
Days weeks months and years

Folding thoroughly
T-Shirts and Shirts and Sweaters
New washing machine

Crustily rambling
Flying softly lucid presents
The hell we live in

I do not know now
I did not know then either
I do not know now

Shampoo washes hair
A world full of hate and fear
Nothing cleanses soul

The river is wild
The wilderness consuming
The future is dark

The new time has come
An era approaches me
My future is fate

The riot is here
Chaos staggering through streets
Fires flaming high

Life is what you scope
What you sight in the skylight
The sun sets lower

Tame the beast inside you
To befit your flooded roll
Don't let it run stray

Entertain me now
Vow your sworn obedience
Bow to white ghosts

Air fire earth light dark
War hate love darkness peace
Food starvation life

Metamorphosis
Change now change forever now
Evolutionize

Devience is big
Genius is tinyer
Scribbles display you

Are you truly wise
What do you call your wisdom?
You die soon old man

Clip your fingernails
Burn your teeth to blackred crisp
Beauty is inside

Perhaps you falter
All humans make mistakes
Fell so fragile so

Eternaly low
Surreal and arrising high
Soft and florescent

Do not fear never
Become cautious and dumber
Be fearless and numb

Protect the country
Care not bout mother earth
Unplanning are we

Project abandoned
Something went terrible wrong
Lets move to the moon

Dig deep in your dreams
So surreal realities
So real it all seems

My life is artwork
Maybe not so poetic
In basic haikus

Cars roll endlessly
On grey highways without end
Condelesences

Warmly ranting boats
Rage through uncalm seas of green
Spit scum and surface

Bleakly, dove forgets
The pain of flying too high
Aging jackknifes play

Destiny descends
Formless orphans oink lamely
Destiny transcends

lying dryly, ghouls
reconsider glumly, bird
float ghostlike shadow

Autumn is here now
And the winter will come soon
Summer fly away

Fly high up and still
Chase away all flying things
Fall like a feather

Dinosaurs are dead
Extinct are all giant beasts
And so will we be

Blood alignes low lines
Sweet music by foreign ear
There is murder here

Live without glory
Fight without righteous cause
Serve other leaders

Supremacy is
A charge of desperation
Dignity and hope

The truth is out there
Waiting to be discovered
Lurking in the shade

Wyclef does not sign
Nor does wyclef perform live
A legend he is

Do never faulter
Do not put fear on display
Learn to hate your friend

Hello wide wild world
Farewell shallow feared sorrow
I drown in new hope

Doom is not yet here
To engulf this world in fear
And shatter our dreams

I have a pen in -
The gloved hand I wear thin.
Treasure the written

Number ninetythree
Is this bit that I've written
Piece of the big part

Are we wrecked now?
That our ship has sunk deep down
Lets just build anew

The clock ticks away
Forces our time to clutter
Deliefs the green trees

A world has been born
A universe has been formed
Will it die again . . .

We learn to be wise
We be wise so we can teach
Trap the free young ones

Of my former self
I am a battered shadow
Shattered and unwise

Left is one daylight
Until darkness treads forth into
This old wartorn world

The End
