HAIKU - STATUS QUO
Guilt pang while blade cuts
young sheared to maintain old shape
pruning the boxwood
young sheared to maintain old shape
pruning the boxwood

Author's Note
It's a travesty how often we sacrifice the free-thinking, innovative, more humane, just, and wise thought of our youth to perpetuate antiquated bias, cruel prejudice, retrograde ideas, institutional injustice...the old guard.

Both your haiku and comment are truly eloquent, Gahdess. You have become a master of the form.

I totally agree, so much needs to change and the changes that do happen are often the wrong things! Life's crazy like that, unfortunately. Good spill to page dear poet.
