RE: RE: RE: Hollow Shells Every day, another young girl shining with hope and joy, shaking the trees and bushes in search of another young boy s-0-0	RE: RE: RE: Revolution's Grave Sorrow The scourge of modern times is like a sewer full of rats. When the tyrant sets his trap, they run as one to take the bait. s-0-1	RE: a struggle for Dominance: not Permanance Yet, if oppression ends, if more people live free, if more children are fed and safe, is the newly risen better to be? se-0-2	RE: Struggle with a Question In a long forgotten place our human rights are found; with the price of freedom, buried in the ground. sw-0-3	RE: a struggle for progress not at all sure of a sinking theory or if the bottommost often rises or if progress is not a useful dream whatever the theorist surmises sw-0-4
RE: RE: Hollow Shells hands folded, pale eyes vacant a "used-to-be" a hollow shell cup her to your ear and listen you can hear her singing still s-1-0	RE: RE: Revolution's Grave Sorrow The scourge of modern times is like a rat we hoped had died. It is the tyrant who can never part with power or with pride. se-1-1	Struggle with a Question For every right we take for granted one too many coffins has been planted n-1-2	a struggle for Dominance: not Permanance Revolution is a cycle Like fads that come and go One group rises to the top While another sinks below s-1-3	RE: RE: a struggle for progress Humanity cycles into horrors once more, as if never learning better; we are so diverse and divided into countries, philosophies- we don't act in unison to quickly stop those who act outside the bounds of sanity; still, I hope for progress and a better world. n-1-4
RE: Hollow Shells I put a shell up to my ear. I hear a quiet hush. Do I hear the ocean waves or what the waves do crush? e-2-0	Hollow Shells Holocausts make hollow shells of men and women. Genocide, fratracide, homocide all make hollow shells. Once a bullet, missile, or nuke is fired, a hollow shell is left. Once your spirit and soul have been killed, only a hollow shell remains. e-2-1	RE: Revolution's Grave Sorrow Revolution's grave sorrow Bodies of innocent dead Men, woman, and children Covered in Revolution's red 2-2-773	Only the names change American Revolution Communist Revolution Islamic Revolution But never a resolution w-2-3	RE: Only the names change Solutions are hard to find in imaginations like this but in the greatest minds, that is all there is. w-2-4
RE: RE: Hollow Shells Just a hollow shell of what I planned to be. But even hollow shells are beautiful to me. n-3-0	RE: RE: Revolution's Grave Sorrow My faith in all that's good plummets into darkness. Hope denied weighs on me, an anchor that drags me down. I am lost in the maelstrom, twisted waters that hide the light. ne-3-1	Only change reality on the ground changes for those still around each order has its virtues if its vices don't undo you ne-3-2	RE: RE: Revolution's Grave Sorrow The radical revolts against the forgetful, lulling laziness. Wake! Make love this moment. nw-3-3	RE: Only the names change The line between realism and pessimism is so thin, I cannot live within that arid no man's land where no change is for the better, and no one wins, there are no solutions, and all hope is banned. nw-3-4
RE: RE: RE: Hollow Shells When I turn one-hundred and move along in age, I hope to say about my life, "It's in the planning stage." n-4-0	RE: RE: RE: Hollow Shells Running his finger along the ridged, calcareous swirls, he pictures life within the horny armor, hidden and clinging to the sea bottom; inside, it's lined with an opalescent rose seen only when the shell's abandoned. nw-4-1	RE: Only change What orders follow you, or rather rule your duty To your country? Your people? Your God, where is the beauty? n-4-2	RE: RE: RE: Only the names change Summer never sets if you're elderly, by golly. If you get a little chilled, just book a three month trip to Bali. e-4-3	RE: RE: Only the names change He died at ninety-eight, a life of endless summer. The living part was great. But dying was a bummer. n-4-4

MYKU History and Lore….

Before the internet, email, and computers, a busy college student began writing four line poems. This was all he had time to do. Haiku, with a twist, he called it Myku. Years later, he emailed a myku to a friend and received a response in the form of a myku! Back and forth it went, with others joining in along the way. These friends discovered that they communicated about things they would not normally discuss, so they kept on. Unfortunately, keeping track of notable mykus proved frustrating. They decided to build MYKU World, to allow them to write, read and store Myku conversations. Welcome to Myku World!
