Reflections 4 is the fourth collection of haiku 5-7-5 verses in the Reflections series. Reflections 4 fires further acerbic shots in some themes already explored in Reflections 1, 2 and 3, as well as new subjects such as: vulgar displays of 'new' wealth (Wasteland III), economic malaise and inequality (Economics IV), the supremacy of the right in UK politics and its harsh socio-economic consequences (Politics) , the poison that exits within families, or various members therein (Blood IV), the importance of culture and the futility of conforming to other people's expectations rather than following one's own path (Tangibility III), the lack of due process in an increasingly insecure world (Law and Justice), the savagery of English holidaymakers abroad (Home and Abroad III), love, loss and friendship (Friends, Lovers and Other Relationships IV), the life-and mind destroying daily ritual of commuting to work, especially by train from a far suburb into the Capital (Commuting III), the reality of sport for most people is the mediocrity of being a pub-going spectator (The Sporting Life IV), the myths and the fraud of the health and fitness industry (Health and Well-Being II), and the bigotry, fakery and fraud that is religion (Religion and Spirituality).
