I have a goal of 50 days - 50 haikus - responding to 50 different songs. These are songs with lyrics that I feel close to. Number Thirty Four is Holiday in Cambodia by the Dead Kennedys.

Holiday in Cambodia

Rich kids play at pain

Sent to bleed in fields of death

Fake ideals fall hard.

Please check out the great poetry from Paul Stewart and Tina D. Lopez who have joined me for the ride and created some beautiful work:
