this is a Tanka 5,7,5,7,7, a haiku is 5,7,5,. People that simply say "Well, China has been in tibet for 600 years if they didn't want them there then why try to protest now?"The resources left for Tibet people are fading.China took tibet only because they are non-violent.It grinds me to see such things be convienly set to the side when China wants the honor of holding an event that celebrates human accievements will stiffling a countries rights. In ink, dabbler ps not being a political person, I will sit in front of the Dragon for Human Rights.

a haiku...

well then.. a haiku is about nature.. right..? I have never tried one.. or a tanka.. although some of my poetry seems structured..I really didn't know the differant forms until I came upon Neopoet and the good folks here.. I'll write one and thanks for the challenge.. I have seen a lot about the problems going on in Tibet concerning china and the olympics. I am not very political myself.. can't put stock in people that make their living by telling lies..sad to say that much of the human race is untrustworthy.. I think Tibet should be left to rule themselves..as well as every other country on this big ol earth we share.. it is too bad the humans can't get it together enough to know that the only way is to share our earth and all her resources.. I'm rambling... sorry. Richard
