A sore sight

Somewhere over the land — Somewhere over the land, probably Australia

A crude watermark,
staining our lives forever—
a nation, suppressed.

Consumer

A sign on a clothing store reading "Spend and Save"

Our lifestyle choices,
reflecting reality—
conditions apply.

Game of chance

Bicycle wheels - from an art installation in Austin, Texas — An art installation in Austin, Texas

The wheel of fortune,
revolving around the mind,
as the wheel of life.

Bitter truth

Sign on a pedestrian crossing, Canberra

Though well intended,
rebellion without humour—
a great depression.

More alike than not

Royal Botanic Garden, Sydney

Humankind, like trees,
though going different ways,
bonded by the ground.
