Haiku #21: Team of "Yes" Men

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

Haiku #20: Exec Orders the New Norm?

‪Governing by force;
‪Founding Fathers roll over,
‪Democracy weeps. 

 

(The process is as disturbing as the policies...
 You're not a private company CEO anymore, dude!)

Haiku #19: Mass Chaos

Lawyers in airports,
Fear and anger the new norm;
Elections matter!

 

Haiku #18: Catching Dolphins Not Tuna

Why use a wide net
When a laser is needed?
Empathy lacking.
 

Haiku #17: Need a Distraction

Week one of Prez Trump
‪Disastrous; but no worries--
‪It's Fed v Rafa!

 

Haiku #16: #NoBanNoWall

Campaign red meat -- to
‪Keep 'em out, kick 'em out; but
‪We're all immigrants.

 

Haiku #15: Control the Media, Control the People

Strong-arm media,
‪Scrub climate change from website;
‪All hail TrumPutin.

 

Haiku #14: Oil Tears

Let the pipelines flow
‪With oil, dollars and Earth Tears
‪Keep on keepin' on.

 

Haiku #13: Make the Superbowl Great Again

Pats clearly the best
But Kraft and Brady pro-Trump;
Falcons shirt in mail.

Haiku #12: Spicer Facts

Friday's crowds were yuuuge!
Press Sec. despises the press
Odd career choice, dude.

Haiku #11: Practice Protests

Today is march day
‪Mere practice; for change requires
‪Four years of marching.

Haiku #10: Inauguration Day Blues

Cold day in D.C.
Surreal this is happening,
But progress won't stop.

Haiku #9: Hope Dies Last

Swamp's full, here we go...
Our last day of the Big O --
Fear not, hope dies last.

Haiku #8: No Education in Education

Way overrated
‪To have run a school system
‪Take out 'dem grizzlies!

#DeVos

Haiku #7: Reality Bites

And so it begins
‪Our national root canal
‪Darkness before dawn

 

Haiku #6: Bend the Arc

The arc may be long
In its path towards justice
But we must bend it.

 

(Happy MLK Day)

Haiku #5: Jim Crow Laundry

MLK Day soon
Why be so racist, laundry?
We've changed, you haven't.

Haiku #4: On Our Own

Hey, here's an idea!
Let's stop insuring people!
Good luck on your own.

 

Haiku #3: Build That Wall?

Nieto won't pay
We don't need a friggin' bridge
They'll just build tunnels!

Haiku #2: Role Models

 

Barack and Michelle...
‪Gracefully showed us the way
‪We are indebted. 

 

Haiku #1: Love Trumps Hate

What have we become
When fear and hate are the norm?
Let’s stand up for love.
