5 Song Haikus
1. Speak To Me
Unnerving silence
focused disdain or neglect
restraining your mouth
2. Time
Rapidly passing
wrinkles betray the delights
illusions of pace
3. The Great Gig In The Sky
Insurmountable
famished pleas for your guidance
while plugging their ears
4. Any Colour You Like
The vibrant palette
to paint your own existence
a choice and a stroke
5. Brain Damage
Deadly serums found
the addictive concussion
to medicate shame
Unnerving silence
focused disdain or neglect
restraining your mouth

I enjoyed ALL of these. But the last one triggered something in me...every time I see the word 'shame'. By medicating are you covering or treating it? Is the addiction the medication?
So much to be read into all of these Haikus. Love it.

I guess it depends on the medication. I would say the unhealthy dependencies (alcoholism, substance addiction) would be used to mask/or forget the shame. But prescribed might be a different story. Interesting thought, and I, by no means have an answer for that. So glad you enjoyed them. Not a style I often explore.
