Basho the Poet
by
Mango Tree
Basaro wandered the countryside of Japan
searching for wildness, trees, flowers, streams
his haiku spread joy, sensitivity throughout Japan
his simple power, inner perspectives of life
influenced the compassionate side of humans
whereas, the power corrupt, war mongers,
freedom fighters, international protectors
fight for oil rights, mineral deposits, resources
Basaro would find this extremely odd.
