Matsuo Bashō
Bad Haiku
Haiku #53282
I am trying to
make a point here with these say
poems as my fam

innocently pokes through
birthday party pictures and
shows me pics of a

pig that was just fed
I am horrified about
say Donald Trump

a populist voice
taking advantage of the fear
and anger out there

who will speak harsh words
next, I mean what happens here
isn't the same as it

was 10 years ago
when irony had a point
and it was pissed off

people posting and
flaming each other and like
parallel lines never

the twain shall meet
words words words words CAN harm or
they can heal, if one

believes in magick
or one believes in Christ but
die and go to hell

tell me what is it
like, but a reflection of
the evil life one

lived in their real time
