Talking The Haiku Game

The object of this simple game is to write a haiku with the first line being the same as the last line of the previous poster's haiku.

First poster:

This is a haiku.
First five, then seven, then five
Syllables per line.

Second poster:

Syllables per line
Is how you're paid to churn out
Pulp fiction novels.

You:

Pulp fiction novels
[INSERT LINE HERE]
[INSERT LINE HERE]

That's about it. Carry on, dearly beloved!

Pulp fiction novels,
And stories in many forms.
Don't pretend they're real.

Don't pretend they're real.
When you do, you hurt others,
Abusing goodwill.

Abusing goodwill,
Gratifying your ego,
Twisting all you say.

Twisting all you say,
Choosing but a higher path
Is serenity

Easy plan unless you must
Live with the damage.

But learn from the past.
Tell me again who is the
Injured party here?

Injured party here?
Results of choices by whom?
Tell me what I've learned.

Tell me what I've learned.
Trust is a fiction to snare
People of goodwill

People of goodwill
Evil deeds do turn them all
Against their nature

Against their nature
Contrary to nature's law
Parent against child

Parent against child
Siblings against their siblings
Evil twisting all

Evil twisting all
Dearest friend against dear friend
Evil's ego laughs

Evil's ego laughs
How simple to subvert trust
Leaving goodwill dead

Leaving goodwill dead
Tell me again what I've learned?
Tell me what you've shown.

Tell me what you've shown
Claim ye not motives noble
Ends do not right means

Ends do not right means
Intent does not damage fix
I never was "him"

I never was "him"
But that never mattered once
You had "certainty"

You had "certainty"
All I had was my goodwill
More taken from me

More taken from me
So tell me now what I've learned?
Your song makes no sense

Your song makes no sense
It has been sung by many
You just sing it new

You just sing it new
Raping, harming and hurting
Same old ancient lies

Same old ancient lies
Sung to silence your conscience
Ends do not right means

Ends do not right means
These results, they were your goal
Tell me what I've learned

Tell me what I've learned
That you rejoice in other's pain?
Spreading hurt and pain?

Spreading hurt and pain?
Killing good for ego's sake?
I hope you feel good

I hope you feel good
Justify it all you want
Same old evil song

Same old evil song
Taking, raping, forcing will
Tell me what I've learned?
