Poetry Friday: Haiku Letters
To George W. Bush:
On your work to prevent terror attacks pre-9/11:
Too bad you did not
Know we could be badly hurt
But wait, you did know
On your video shown of you goofing about looking for wmd:
You must be pleased that
Dead soldiers can't hear you laugh
About why they died
On your general demeanor as President:
You pretend that you
Are a sweet country boy but
You are a bully
To Condoleeza Rice:
You fling your words like
Drunken clowns dodging bulls but
Distracting no one
To Dick Cheney:
Do you not speak the
Truth, because you don't want to
Strain your heart too much?
To Justice Scalia:
Profound good shines through
When great men defend the truth;
You'd rather hunt ducks
To Richard Clarke:
Profound good shines through
When great men defend the truth;
Thank goodness for you
