epigram and Tanka

Epigram

Only in our world of unrestrained freedom
And middle class lunacy, do we let farmers
Plant sugar cane fields to make fuel for our
Costly cars, instead feeding the starving



Tanka

With high cost of rice
The poor face great hardship
But it’s not all gloom
A pair of solid Chinese boots
Is still within their budget.
