I had to re-work the poem with the procedures I've been working on for meme-like views of Japanese poems, with furigana pronunciation hints...

#松尾芭蕉 #Basho #Haiku #NoWarHaiku? #PeaceHaiku?

Another Peace Haiku? This time from Basho and not a JHS student. This one makes me think of Thomas Peabody's War Song, ruins跡 remain.
> The eagles and the ravens
We glutted with our foemen;
The heroes and the cravens,
The spearmen and the bowmen.

> We brought away from battle,
And much their land bemoaned them

> 皆の者 銃を握るな 手を握れ
--- 寺沢山登

> 冗談めかした呼びかけも、 むしろ真剣な重いから。 まるでグラフィティアートのような中学生の言葉だ。
--- いとうせいこう

To everyone
Don't hold onto all the guns
Just be holding hands!

Come on all of you
Do not hold onto the guns
Hold onto the hands
