Give Them Holidays, Games and Reruns 

(haiku)

Every holiday

is a commercial pretense,

a reason to spend.

*

No one remembers

the reasons we celebrate.

Just how much it cost.

*

When we are all spent

nothing new is created

but the same old thing.

Just Another Holiday

(haiku)

Labor Day folly.

Celebrate the working man

then lower his wage.

*

The working man's goal.

Work an entire life away

making others rich.

*

When the work is done

live on an entitlement

they yearn to deny.

*

Make it to the end

and you and all that hard work

just goes up in smoke.

*

Few will remember
who or what you even did,
least of all your boss.

A Looney Tunes World 

(haiku)

True Democracy

is when the people vote for

the best Oligarch.

*

Mid East new normal.

Blow up all antiquities 

and murder your own.

*

The General says,

'recruit terrorists to kill

other terrorists'.

If our enemies

can just hold on long enough

they can fight for us.
