&quot;If you build your house far enough away from Trouble, then Trouble will never find you.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Have you ever looked fear in the face and said, &#039;I just don&#039;t care.&#039;?&quot;

This is so WONDERFUL! You know, there are crappy haiku's, there are deep and meaningful haiku's and then there's this. A very rare, humorous, clever, PERFECT one! LOVE IT! :):):)

I love this a lot! It shows the way society has evolved into using social media. Voted 5/5!

Very interesting. Really brings out societal measures into perspective which people do need to realize these days! Job well done

Hey, thanks for commenting on my poem! :) First of all, I really like this haiku. You perfectly describe where technology had brought us. A tweet really is kind of like the new haiku. Good job!

Well isn't this a tad too true. A humorous commentary on the state of affairs in this world.

This is funny and well-written, even for a haiky. But it is also a very insightful reflection on what our current society values. Good work.
