The Bluff of Life
written by: Anoucheka Gangabissoon
Write me a haiku
Of that which is meant to be
When church bells shall ring
Write me a haiku
Allow me to fall in love
With the mystical
Write me a haiku
So my dreams materialize
Into blessed dawns
Write me a haiku
Of songs that shall be hymned
When life shall be true
When pigs shall not fly
In a world which is not ours
But which fools us all
To take it as our Queen
While we are slaves
To its bluffing poetry
