Deep and powerful senryu, Harry. Sadly, there are many people who "embrace death" because their lives were so hard. Excellent senryu, dear friend. Love, Carolyn

Awesome, as profound a statement Harry, as I've seen in a Senryu. Good job. Agape, Moses

Sounds like he didn't have much of a life. Written very well.
