Hello, Tristan,
Reminds me of the bible, \' a house of prayer to a den of robbers but not as drastic. The wants of man delving into the selfishness of his own mania abandoning the essence of his own soul. Excellent haiku.
Fond regards,
Tony.

Hello, Tristan,
To wander casually into mayhem. This haiku has a real eastern flavour to it, not many western poets achieve that, so, very well done, my friend.
All the best,
Tony.

The calm before the storm.
A nice day for walking, can also be a nice day for getting shot.

Even the calm and beautiful is punctuated with the terrible and ugly. Nice contrast my friend. The pairing of the two makes this a powerful piece.

A lot of Churches here are always Locked.
Sad sign of the Times.
I did Read that in the 17c Lottery Tickets were on sale in St Paul\'s Cathedral.

Although flea markets are often located in the courtyard of a church Tristan, no mention here. Keeping coverings for my back, holes out of my pants and hunger at bay once upon a time was an obsessionn. Not so now.

What is the church not offering the people now.
Or are people just working to exist, and the message of the lord doesn\'t resonate.
It\'s a tough one, and I don\'t have the answers.

I dunno about your conclusion. Just because folk fail to acknowledge and worship the only true God, doesn\'t mean they\'re not worshipping whatever. Flea markets used to be thing to do in my childhood in Colorado, back over 40 years ago. Beautifully rendered with excellent imagery and a haunting poignancy. Thank you for sharing.

Good write T. I suppose markets outside churches are OK, but not inside them - and not cheating, as was so in Jesus\' time.

Ah Tristan the message comes through capitalism and greed (possibly gluttony as well) easily overcomes religion or spirituality. Nicely done my friend>

Hello, Tristan,
I think you need a tranquilizer after that brief outburst. A rapid firing ditty on four cylinders. Unorthodox humour the kind I most enjoy.
All the best,
Tony.

Not enough izers in the world today.
I myself like to see myself as a big wordizer.
Not to be confused by the big guy next door, dickizer.
Definitely not to be confused by his wife, to many dickizers.
Probably why I drink the atomizers.

Devilishly Dreadful: The Initiate; or, The Mysteries of the White Band
Thomas W Case said:
Powerful work, my friend. There’s a claustrophobic sense of fate here, with the removed blindfold revealing not freedom but a silent audience of family, power brokers, and veiled faces who seem to have already decided the speaker’s future. The final interruption—Edie’s voice demanding his removal just as the vows are pronounced—turns the repeated lines into a trap snapping shut, leaving the poem suspended between the promise of love and the machinery of approval that has swallowed it whole.
