Analysis of Drama, Status And Stories (Haiku Verse)
We live our drama
We perform life on a stage
and act-out each age
Gone out is status
All peoples are coequal
as nature made us
We all are writing
our singular history
for posterity
Yarns are our symbols
and stories our parables
and tales our fables
