Not a new thought, but a good one. Not really a haiku either, but a good way to live.

Haiku- 17 syllables, three lines, 5-7-5.

Even though
"You can not kill a
dead man and I am not a-
fraid to die, Buddy"
has the right syllable count, it doesn't stay true to form. I hate forms.
But I like a good line to say when I'm drunk at a bar and some other poet is calling me out(to fight, not to dance). Come to think about it, it works for either happenstance.-5-

Wow! Being called out by a fellow poet to fight? How fellow can he be?

You can't kill dead man.
I am not afraid to die.
Just don't muss my hair.

Really not a Haiku, but I'll give you a 4 for effort.

The only way to "kill" a dead man is by sending him to Hell for an eternity of time!
