Political Haikus - Be Creative

Idea from this thread
Let’s do political haikus
I’ll start, if that’s okay

Thought about Great Debates
and this can get contentious,
but I placed it here


Dick Cheney, George Bush
The puppeteer, the puppet
Frightened audience

Global warming facts
Denied by power brokers
Our future suffers

The faith-filled rejoice
Church and state separation
No longer the case

Hate for Brown people
fuels immigration debate
They should be ashamed

Protocol changes
in Department of Justice
Civil rights denied

Commit war on Iraq
Make up justification
Evil epitomized

We support the troops
Your dead sons don’t concern us
Hypocrisy? Nooo.

Sensitive McCain
Bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb Iran
Cheney’s mood music

Chicken hawk alert
All talk, never having served
Today’s war mongers

Locked-up without charge
Guantanimo detainees
Due process withheld

Serious question:
Bush or Ahmadinejad
Who’s the bigger threat?

Iraqi’s displaced
Almost one million have died
Save them from Bush’s war

Rife devastation
Bush says “Freedom’s on the march”
Tell that to the dead

In Bush’s purview
Loyalty trumps competence
Rewards the inept

Bush taps our phone calls
Can we impeach this fool yet?
Pelosi, come on!

Cheney waves a gnarled hand:
“You see no duplicity”
Ooooh, pretty flowers!

Bush commits high crimes
The Hague has open dockets
May he rot in jail

Conservative’s rant
Oh, how we can’t stand the Gays
Now where’s my man meat?

Give Gays equal rights?
They’ll make us get Gay married!
And use our pea brains!

Black republicans:
Does your forebear’s sacrifice
mean nothing to you?

Not to worry, though.
Democrats will help the gays.
Like they always have.

Our Partisan Fears
Politicians are all equal
And a waste of time

More and more I think
“I’m going to vote Ron Paul”
and I’m not alone

President Ron Paul:
Please bring back those good ol’ days
Which never happened

They’ll try, Liberal
but conservative hatred
is power unmatched

When it comes to it
I’ll take crazy you can see
over what you can’t.

Au contraire, essell
Bush has taken corruption
to a new strata

And do not forget
African-Americans:
Taken for granted.

Paul makes me nervous
Some of his views are out there
Are we sure he’s sane?

It’s been said before
You have to be slightly nuts
To want such a job.

:smiley:

Please pardon errors
Missed “the” in 7th haiku
Mistake in 2nd

Besides, he told me
If I vote for him next year
I can sell acid.

:smiley: :smiley: :smiley:

Of the candidates,
I do not [heart] Huckabee,
Why does he get buzz?

So true, Cluricaun
Incompetent or crazy
I don’t like the choice

Evangelicals
They’re now the most vocal group
and he has their ear

Even better still
at least his name isn’t Mitt
something to catch balls.

Who do I vote for
if I am racist, sexist,
and pro-abortion?

More importantly
Mitt is too flip-floppery
Who is the real Mitt?

Iraq or Iran
Who to nuke is debated
Compromise: Chavez
