TEN ‘HAIKU’S’ OF WORDS I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN BEFORE

 

“I’ll build you a wall!”

is sophistry to think that,

“‘Mexico’ will pay!”

 

When “LOCK HER UP” is

common promulgation

Believe what you see

 

If you don’t know what

hegemony really means,

well, you don’t have to

 

The bottom process;

‘Diversificators’ bet

what belongs to you

 

You said that I was

the supercilious type.

I raised my eyebrow

 

Raise a glass to my

salubrious funeral,

I just had my fill

 

The politician

with obfuscation in mind

Tricker of the light

 

Get this popinjay

I repeated to myself

in my ‘selfie-stick’

 

Indifference posed

as equanimity masks

inequality

 

What is this ‘Haiku’?

of aphorism
