The Great Redefining 
(haiku)


'No boots on the ground'
really means boots on the ground.
You just heard it wrong.

*

'Zero inflation'
really means raise the prices
and no one will care.

*

'Holding a debate'
really means more prime time ads
and network profits.

* * *

No rarely means no
and yes usually means yes
if the profit's right.

*

I like to see things
as they really are and not
as I wish they were.

Burn the Witch 
(haiku)

The inquisition
has risen again today
minus the thumb screws.

The traitors seek truth.
They put her to the question.
Her truth is ignored.

Frothing at the mouth
they find the lady guilty
of what, no one knows.

Blurred Horizons 
(haiku)

Selling a product
and voicing lame opinions
is all that matters.

*

Morals and ethics
is just some people talking
out their friggin butts.

*

With no end in sight
the decline accelerates,
so tighten your grip.
