Shoot First (Tanka)

Shoot first…too common

Racism alive and well

Rise of the old south

Were it not for video

The Blue Wall would have stood firm

Web of the Spider (Tanka)

Web of the spider

Miraculous and deadly

In its complex weave

A Hunter extraordinaire

Cloaked in beautiful fabric

Adults Are Children (Tanka)

Adults are children

On each first day of April

Day of foolishness

Let the fun and games begin

How great to be kids again

Gravity defied

As silver birds reach the skies

Takeoffs and landings

If man’s truly meant to fly

He would sprout feathers and wings

Illness (Tanka)

Illness…religion

One thing brings out the other

Prayers for better health

Sickness shows the frailty

That only Heaven can cure

From the brush of Picasso

A true masterpiece

Painted in antiquity

It is irreplaceable

Colossal Mistake

Of Biblical proportions

Unforgivable

Most vilified of mortals

Christ’s Judas Iscariot

Extremism Lives (Tanka)

Extremism lives

In every country on earth

Welcome Tunisia

The fold of victims awaits

When will the violence end

Bringing Out The Worst (Tanka)

Bringing out the worst

The anonymity

Of technology

Accountability lost

Amongst the zeros and ones

A Cheeky Letter (Tanka)

A cheeky letter

Congressmen sent to Iran

Not very funny

Preferring war over peace

They commit acts of treason
