The Pot Bellied Pigs
They Wipe Their Faces With The Greens
Their Meal To The Bone

- Comment from author about the poem: I was heavily inspired by the phrase “Eat the Rich” and “Eat Your Young” by Hozier. I was uncertain how I’d approach it so I decided to make it into a haiku. I’ve never done a haiku so this is my first :)

A great haiku especially for the first. Nicely set it gives its message where pigs are not too picky about what they eat.
I think the rich have been eating the poor for as long as the poor have been poor.
This is raw and real! Great haiku!
Bravo!
Very meaningful and penned well

Great work, shot and sweet (:
A delightful little haiku! Vivid imagery, a touch of humor, and an unexpected ending. You manage to say so much with so few words. Excellent!
