A poet's reaction to the news media.
Elections
Some pols easily will forget
the voters are the ones who vet.
If pols do not fulfill their needs,
votes make them pay for misdeeds.
(Best those pols consider and note
its voters needs they must promote.)
Patience {Satori Haiku
Peace, patience can bring
composure to start waxing...
hence comes relaxing.
Gilded Lies
A gilded fact can mask a lie.
On such deceit, do not rely.
Pols, red or blue, take what they say
but pause, challenge, and verify.
Opportunity
The pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity;
the optimist, opportunity in every difficulty.
L.P. Jacks
Modern Art
In my youth, all art relaxed me...
the Arts found in every form.
They seemed to let my Chi fly free,
serenity became the norm.
Now critics strive to reach new heights...
left peace and calm afar.
I now find there are few delights
for spam now rules, not caviar.
Fables {Satori Haiku}
Fables from the past
often are but lies amassed...
nonsense should be cast.
Infrastructure {2018}
Trump bragged about his new tax laws,
but failed to note their major flaws.
It pays the debt pols owe the rich...
while infrastructure rots and falls.
