excellent point - man doesn't always use his age-gathered wisdom, most often people just give in to their basic instincts...
the form itself doesn't respect the pattern of a lune haiku, as in three words - five words - three words per line, but the message is much too well conveyed in it, so the form might just go to hell from my point of view here :).

Oh. My understanding is that it is 5-3-5 syllables, rather than words...
