Radical Combination


Meaning

Haiku

Mnemonic

A leader wishing to stop criminals will write a moving haiku. The leader pleads with the criminals to stop their crimes, to look within, and to realize there's more to life (like poetry!).

Unfortunately, the leader of the criminals also writes haiku, and they want all the criminals to keep doing crimes. Look inside and see how much you want what others have, write a haiku, and then steal!
