Demetrios Trifiatis Poet Haiku

Thoughtless Man

Thoughtless Man dances

On planet's suffering ground 

Vengeful doomsday laughs! *






(c) Demetrios Trifiatis 
          27 July 2019

* Extreme weather phenomena take place at  an ever-increasing rate 
around the world which indicate climate change but we continue our 
destructive way of life as though nothing happens!

Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart July 27, 2019 at 8:16 AM The poles setting fire... We didn't see that coming. If I think too much about it I cannot function. x Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart July 27, 2019 at 2:04 PM I'm 47, and as long as I can remember it has been of issue. :( Demetrios Trifiatis July 27, 2019 at 9:17 AM I am afraid we had seen it coming centuries ago! Would you be surprised to learn that Plato , the Greek philosopher of the 5th century BC had expressed his concern about the environment? Decades now we know where we were going but the big interests silenced the issue! Now it is up to us to do whatever we can! Blessings xxx

Vijay Pandit July 27, 2019 at 7:21 AM They are indeed thoughtless..so sad, they occupy positions of power..and ignorance. Well said my friend. Demetrios Trifiatis July 27, 2019 at 9:12 AM My friend, Vijay, unfortunately we all are shareholders of earth's destruction. We are all responsible thus we all should work in unison to save what we still can save! Thank you for your concern!

Anne-Lise Andresen July 27, 2019 at 5:02 AM - ... the laughter of death ... a rotten scent ... the next generation will never know the scent of roses ... - A powerful and "scary" haiku, my friend - hugs // Anne-Lise :) Demetrios Trifiatis July 27, 2019 at 7:03 AM Yes, roses would be not around to welcome future generations! What a terrible thought dearest, Anne-Lise! Thank you for your lovely visit! Hugs xxx

Tom Cunningham July 27, 2019 at 4:53 AM So true Demetrios, man strutting around like a village idiot. But mother nature will fight back and will fight ferociously. What amazes me is we can see these things but the so called experts' can't. Tom Demetrios Trifiatis July 27, 2019 at 7:02 AM How true your words my friend! We see things from the same angle! The experts are paid by the greedy for ...not to see! Thank you!

Caren Krutsinger July 27, 2019 at 4:36 AM This haiku tells the "truth of it". I am feeling it also, and wondering if we can do anything to stop it from happening, or it it already too late? Demetrios Trifiatis July 27, 2019 at 6:59 AM I am afraid there is not much we could do anymore dear, Caren! We , unfortunately , have paved the way to destruction for the future generations! Thank you!
