I woke up today feeling particularily serene and wise. So the logical thing to do was write haiku poems. I recommend it.
See the gargoyles
The wings of stone like weeping
Flowers in the rain
A smell of sulphur
Dust to dust and dawn to dusk
(something in Latin)
Blooming shall commence
Extract the soul from within
Chill out in the den
Cigarette number
Four have been counted to come
Coughing Horsemen
Hopping grasshopper
Conquers all dreaming of Green
Scaring Salvador
Press the button once
Enter the sun from outside
Type another Haiku
Rotting corpses smell
Musty leaves of brown below
A dead tree still grows
Moribund men breathe in
Lungs of the Kali Juga
Carrion birds exhale
Legions of lesions
Gift to the decadent mind
Fed by acid rain

Asiatic fruits--
Little, yellow, different
the seeds of haiku
Hearts cease lively beat
as the bloodflows with passion
From the lust of Murder
Little butterfly--
bereft of its coloured wings
Vengeance of the moth.
Call of the walrus!
Painful cries of a tuba
From the obese mouth
Pieta or pizza?
Hold the beef and corpse of Christ
Two for five dollars.
Word. That last one goes out to ma homegirl robindertha and all da pizzle luvin nizzles in da hizzle. Peace.

I like that one.
"And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me. After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me. For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till he come. Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord. But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup. For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body. For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep" (I Corinthians 11:24-30).
If pizza is the new body of christ, is his blood pepsi cola?

(not exactly haiku, but felt like writing this)
Fevered strongmen dance til dawn,
Herald of their final song.
Of rumor, our thrice rumored son:
Feared by kindred so wrong!
Known to all, sacred to none:
The chosen one, 'neath rising sun.
Kin of Death, his fated breath,
Offers life only to take.
Conquest rife, strife for the blessed,
From graven rest unto mother's breast,
He slays because he can make;
He creates that which he shall break.
On to sunrise, bones shine on;
Broken under boot and brawn.
Battles end just to begin!
Blood is cheap, for life is easy:
Death rises over all!
After virtue and after sin
Darkness will always win.
Life was merely an echo;
Just a play; just a show,
Frozen under snow.

It must be. More likely Pepsi than Coke, anyway. The Madonna of popculture endorsed Pepsi around the time when her video for "Like a Prayer" came out. There was some controversy over it from Catholic group even. A significant coincidence, IMO
"Then, in 1989, Madonna once again changed her image. She traded in her closely shorn platinum coif for long, curly black hair and an almost wholesome look for her album Like a Prayer. Returning once more to provocative religious imagery, the title track compared the experience of lovemaking to praying. The video for the song featured Madonna as a streetwalker who witnesses a violent rape and murder. She goes into a church where a black Jesus statue comes to life and makes love to her. The video, which also featured burning crosses, sparked such controversy that Pepsi Cola, who had paid Madonna millions of dollars for a commercial endorsement, pulled out of their contract. As the single soared to number one, Madonna thanked them for the publicity."

Coke is probably the new holy water.
Walmart is the new salvation shop, I mean church.

OCEAN, n.
A body of water occupying about two-thirds of a world made for man -- who has no gills.
Nice sig.
There's a theory which posits that the path from 'ape' to 'man' involved some sort of water-dwelling stage, which would account for interesting features of some 'humans', i.e. sparse body hair, natural flotation, somewhat webbed fingers, etc. This is known as the "Aquatic Ape" theory or something along those lines.

Interesting. It's a shame humans can't breathe under water. Perhaps more of us would fall prey to sharks. :p
MAN, n.
An animal so lost in rapturous contemplation of what he thinks he is as to overlook what he indubitably ought to be. His chief occupation is extermination of other animals and his own species, which, however, multiplies with such insistent rapidity as to infest the whole habitable earth and Canada.
I have access to a very handy dictionary, you could say it is the Devil's work.
edit: sharks, and giant man-eating octopi.

What's the proper metrum for a haiku? I feel like writing one myself.

in languages other than japanese, the number of syllables is not so strict. you can deviate a little if you need to. and also there is supposed to be a reference to a season (eg. flowers for spring, snow for winter)
The syllabic is the only way the japs could go with their inferior pictograms. Our languages are better.
syllabic barking
japanese are inferior
they need syllables
we love the negroes
all japanese are like them
they are primitive
