Idols – haiku by Dennis Lange

 

Idols

Gods worshiped
Vertical parade –
Look like men.

——————–

Don’t have sense,
Or might to escape
Sun or rain.

——————–

Help needed?
Which one will come down
And aid you?

——————–

The answer –
Not a single one.
Known, deep down.

* The haiku I write are lines of 3-5-3 syllables instead of 5-7-5.
