Hey DUers - it's the Rethug Haiku Thread
Loud mouths empty minds
Rail against logic, rail on
Compromise is sin


Tax cuts for the rich
Welfare is a dirty word
Except for Big Oil


Money, more money
Grind the poor into the ground
Oil for the machine

Zero hour we still prattle

World turns light to dark

Burn notice secretly kept


Altar of Randian worship

Money the only idol not God

Shrugged Atlas, rightwing bible?


Free markets unfettered

Trickled down and supplied insides

Pantlegs damp trousers phewww!!

8. Haiku 2?
Hail Corporatism
Privatize it all right now
Money is our god

We create the truth
Media is our message
Reality net

Simply believe things
Our drugs will make it look good
A Shiny thing here!

13. A lot of good ones here!
I'm not experienced with Haikus, but I'm giving it a try...

"Let the poor eat cheese
Isn't that enough?
We must tend to the gluttony of the rich."

The poor, although the majority,
Don't count in Republicans' minds
They forget the poor are the cogs in the wheels.

If the poor, who dominate in numbers,
Are ignored & abused to glutton the rich,
Will the chosen few be able to enjoy their wealth?

The corporation$ give their Reps power
The flowing money feed$ their audacity
Greed, their "American" value, will be their undoing.

14. My first try at Haiku...
The rich hoard the harvest
Jesus loved the poor
The Right pretend to believe
