Political Haiku

[Kurai Tsuki]

Haiku format- 5 syllables / 7 syllables / 5 syllables


Bright star high in space
Do you know the troubles of
Those below your home?

Imperialist
I bring you the gift of your
Morbid reflection

[Hate Is Art]

oooh sounds fun i'll have ago

Napalm burns scorched bones
Orange and red and black and flames
No one survives

Teeth crying bore
Liberal whining whore
We all end up dead

[Raisa]

Weapons spread
Like the Shadow of a vultures wings
Over the human Race

Beware the day technology advances, and we do not.

[Faceless]

The bell of Da dA says:
"your egg is the wrong way round,
mmm, but, broken words,

"time is running out,
must escape the plastic cups,
chase you to sedation."

So hear bell DA
cuz heaven is a whorehouse
and cups are enemies.


(btw that was a dada poem, not spam)

[CabalTherapy]

ascription to red
fierce sense of entitlement
fascism disguised


inneffectual
get rid of competition
we shall overcome! (http://www.che-lives.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=25518&view=findpost&p=405368)

There's at least one in here that's 5-8-5 :lol: No names mentioned ;)

I'd participate but my artistic talents extend as far as 6 strings, and that's it :(

[Chad King]

(Its not quite a haiku, but close)

It looked good
I wanted to try it
I am consumer whore

[Hate Is Art]

not quite, apart from having 3 lines your nowhere close!

[Chad King]

Technicalities are for assholes ;)

[Hate Is Art]

and for people who want to be accepted into the CL Haiku Society.

[Kurai Tsuki]

In this case the technicalities are what make the poem a haiku. Otherwise it's just a short, three stanza poem.

[ComradeRed]

Bush is a dick head
why won't he die faster please
Bush is a fascist

My pseudo-haiku
I wouldn't call that a pseudo-haiku, you got the amount of syllables in each line perfectly.

[Hate Is Art]

Pinochet please die
Take maggie with you pleae
You kill to many people

[percept¡on]

Sin is a virtue
the desperate rebellion
of a soul in chains

[Gunman]

Capitalism
the same thing
as damn fascism

Lets destroy that
because between us
Consequences doesnt matter

I dont know how to separate syllables very well in english :unsure:

[Pedro Alonso Lopez]

Freedom costs a lot
revolutionary, eh?
thats what i said man.

I didnt try very hard.

[elijahcraig]

I don't like political haikus.

[Kurai Tsuki]

I'm sorry you feel that way, why don't you like them?

[elijahcraig]

The make me testy.

[Pedro Alonso Lopez]

Didnt you know Foucault used to write them bathroom doors in the seedy places he found himself in?

[elijahcraig]

Foucault did a lot of things.

I also don't like gay bathhouses.

[Gunman]

Gay bathhouses? Never heard of that...

[Pedro Alonso Lopez]

He visited them when he had AIDS knowingly spreading it.

[elijahcraig]

AIDS knowingly spreading it.

I'm not sure I believe this.

[Pedro Alonso Lopez]

Its just hearsay, dont quote me on that. Apparently its the truth, I'll have a look in my Foucault biography which is upstairs somewhere.

[elijahcraig]

I have heard it rumored by a lot of people.

It wouldn't be that suprising, but I just have high doubts as to whether he did this.

[Pedro Alonso Lopez]

I cant find any reference anyway, I heard it from the Phora just there while browsing the Philosophy forum although thats never a good source.

[elijahcraig]

I've also heard that Foucault believed that the AIDS virus could possibly by an invention of the ruling class as it was then a virus said to only affect gay men, and he considered the ruling class in opposition to homosexuality and all that. So he may have been told he had it, then had sex anyway if he didn't believe the virus to be a real virus.

[Pedro Alonso Lopez]

Perhaps we should write an article on it.

[elijahcraig]

It would be sourceless.

2. Guy on Google I searched a long time ago when I started reading Foucault, but can't remember who it was.

[RedAnarchist]

The people will beat
The capitalist monster
In the final war

[Hate Is Art]

I have two feet.
They like walking over me.
I have to go sleep.

[Kurai Tsuki]

These boots were made for
Walking and thats what they will do
They will walk over you. :rolleyes:

Sorry, couldn't help it when I saw the walking themed one.
