Barack Haiku

Free range greed won’t work/

Lesson cost billions, again/

Bring our banks to heel/

By Guest Poet Brad Ryan


Obama pledges/

Six billion to explore space/

Maybe he’ll find jobs/

Dark high water mark/

Feel the tug of the tide shift/

A big fucking deal/

Steel behind the smile/

Iron firm focus on ends/

Foil for Red anger/


#sotu, #healthcare, #obama

Green trail of Dem greed/

Senate’s slow walk of failure/

Up, down, we all lose/

#healthcare, #senate, #campaign contributions

Today’s hot piping lines by guest poet Peter Medway


BA RI O BA MA/

Torture us with hope and change/

we love our Leader/

A toast to your health/

The most in sixty long years/

And yet not enough/

Lone millions decide/

Small options that go unknown/

Boss just picks the tune/

#obama, #leadership, #power

Wind whipped vote count/

Chicago not Hawaii/

Lake chill on blue dogs/

#haiku, #healthcare, #blue dogs, #political pressure, #reform, #public option

Gray hair chorus sings/

Social medicine big bad/

But keep Medicare/


#healthcare, #protest, #teabaggers, #hypocrites, #taxes

Heat seeps through our soles/

The long walk back from Saint Ron/

Trudge on, drink water/

#reform #reagan #healthcare #wall street #obama #haiku

A haiku epic on health care.

Lobbys mainline cash/

Addicts on the Hill deny/

Medical chaos/

Facts be damned/

“Just one more fix” our Reps plead/

Its never just one/

Feh, the “war on drugs”/

Look in the fucking mirror/

You cringing junkies/

Another DC day/

Delay, deny, blame others/

Low expectations/

Stand up, grow a spine/

Own the problem, work for us/

Today, right now, go/

Wooden words snarled/

To cower behind the whip/

You must live in fear/

Big O rejects Dick/

Stride into the gale head up/

Fear, not how we roll/

 

No mumbled cower/

Head up, the humility/

To see we are one/

Speak fair minded words/

Far from home’s safe fireside chair/

Open minds and open hearts/

 

Psychopaths call shots/

Shock, slam, drown, kill.  Thanks Rummy/

Blood and mud our name/

Look dear I gouged/

Bad guy eye – red white and goo/

Don’t look away now/

Evil unchecked/

Lies in wait to come again/

Real blowback – our cure/
