Enigma

And to all those I have wronged I am remorseful For my life is an enigma And at times I lose my way Like a mad dog that goes astray Enslaved by tribulations That fails to go away And reason becomes an absurdity As my sanity fades away Like a stallion In the misty wilderness Who comes back at dawn? My mind awakes Replenish with life with the warmth of the sun And rejuvenates like a new born To drink from the lake of life And to start another sojourn on earth To get what is left to take And remember those I shall never forget And those I shall not forsake Dreams unfilled Living a life that is less thrilled Ruled by plutocrats and kleptocrats Who served the god of money He takes your soul in return for a drop of honey Friends come and friends go like the autumn wind It s cold So is life For all that glitters is not gold Standing on principle is worthless in the land of lunatics Where religion is used as a weapon By the raging fanatics And freedom is used to enslave you more For the oppressors we see Are worse than the oppressors we saw It is worthless for a bleeding pauper The world sees not those who suffer Except those who bask in the euphoria of wealth and stupidity And who disgust those who live a life of humility For the puppet master still pulls my strings He is the god we see Who controls all that life brings And those artificial things But time will vindicate the righteous If you are true indeed so When it blows The wind of change Everybody knows Sound of chance Fills the air And ends your despair Time servers and sycophants will perish So will all that they cherish! And relish Hidden secrets locked away in the chest of the truth Now unlocked And I regain exuberance Like I have bathed in the Fountain of Youth For I have vowed to speak the truth Parasites and worms that feed on the dead and the living But never care for others because They are never giving Kings and nobleman were born of slaves They are blind when they hold the mantle of authority They fall because they know not the meaning of prosperity A divide house can never stand So let us unite

Nice word- in fact, I love this poem... but I am not so sure you can consider this Haiku form...
