  1. Powerful haiku.

  2. Yep. Teeming succumbs to teaming.
    Seriously, it’s a powerful piece. Right to the point.

  3. Short and bang on; sharp haiku and painfully honest prose.

  4. Those groups can be dangerous to each other.

  5. Yes, what a story, when groups meet: too often a horrifying one. You’ve written a brief yet powerful one!

  6. Too sadly true.

  7. Fear drives people to do the unthinkable.

  8. In the end we need to coexist
