    Austrian Business Cycle Haiku


    The Facebook page I bet Ludwig von Mises can get more fans than John Maynard Keynes challenged fans of the page to compose a haiku based on Austrian business cycle theory. Now I think you lose points if you use words like “interest rates.” Nothing lovely in that. It needs to be at a higher level of abstraction, I think.

    I know nothing of the subtleties of the genre myself. I’m just interested in the 5-7-5 syllable rule, which itself isn’t cast in stone. But here’s my proposal:

    Build without savings
    Harmony into chaos
    Things go unfinished

    There is a #RonPaulHaiku people tweet, those would all work for that, too.

    Leave People Alone
    They solve their own problems
    Intervention sucks
    I'm a moderator, and I'm glad to help. But I'm an individual -- my words come from me. Any idiocy within should reflect on me, not Ron Paul, and not Ron Paul Forums.

    Earth cracks wide open
