About This Poem

Two Worlds Colliding


the rich and poor
your world and mine…
ocean’s apart

our worlds collide 
when cultures clashed…
different values

    Great haiku`s here my friend.Unbeliveable to think how we`ve ended up so different on this planet, seen from a culturel aspect.Not to mention how bad it can turn out if don`t accept our neighbors`mindset.Have a great Sunday,David.My beer and steaks are drowning over here..!!
