Warner Baxter Poet Senryu

Misjudged - Senryu Chain X5

~~**~~
not my intention
nor a bone of contention
social convention
~*~
look for facts I search
I research but get confused
or am I confused
~*~
I used to be brash
I used to be brazen bold
no more I got old
~*~
we take sides to fight
politics and religion
pray or become prey
~*~
hate poisons the mind
arrogance is ignorance
divided we fall
~~**~~
