A tanka written by Lee Sonogan

Pain is annoying and unnecessary, like getting an e-mail in all caps. It’s like a six-year-old who alerts you every fifteen seconds that he wants Hungry Hungry Hippos for his birthday. Yes, I understand. Message received. – A. J. Jacobs
Belly has no ears,
Tasting eaten humble pie
I’ll smell you laters,
Conscientious give an eye,
Vellicate more nous freighters.
If you aren’t humble, whatever empathy you claim is false and probably results from some arrogance or the desire to control. But true empathy is rooted in humility and the understanding that there are many people with as much to contribute in life as you. – Anand Mahindra
