Haiku #53: History Repeating

Deja vu: Ban banned
Veiled racism; Trump must learn:
Words matter. Courts too!

Haiku #44: Exhausted

Not yet two months in

Calls for probes, E.O.s, courts, tweets --

Just. So. Exhausted.

Haiku #32: 9th Circuit Does Its Job

Ban on Bannon's ban
Amidst banter, stay banded
Our banner: "Welcome."

Haiku #28: Hugs not Hate

Thrust into chaos,

Refugees rush to get in,

We should hug not hate.

Haiku #26: Stress on the System

Checks and balances,
Gears of the system working--
Working overtime.

Haiku #23: Distract and Divide

The ban's a 'shock event'
Meant to divide us further;
Hmm...what's the real goal?

Haiku #21: Team of "Yes" Men

Don't dare take a stand --
So much for Team of Rivals --
My catchline? You're fired.
