Once I saw Ronovans’ prompt, woke & up, I chuckled. Getting out of bed these days has been a struggle ‘cos I’ve been sleeping unusually late. The first haiku depicts this ‘bedmatics struggle’ and the second haiku has political connotations.
The shrilling alarm woke me
but it was hard to get up,
my pillow held me down.
If we don’t stay ‘woke,’
and rise up to change the paradigm
we all risk losing everything.

Both haikus are very nice. Pillows do pull us down 🙂
