Osama’s Been Killed—Ten Haiku
Robert Higgs • Tuesday, May 3, 2011
Father forgive them,
for they know not what they do,
Yankees never say.
–
Osama’s been killed,
everyone’s now saying.
Firestorm will come soon.
–
An eye for an eye,
slaughter all people you fear.
Cold blood chills your veins.
–
Americans may
seem quite civilized at times.
Looks often deceive.
–
Summer follows spring;
autumn comes next for certain.
Blowback’s for sure, too.
–
To see justice done,
close right eye, obscure the left.
Drift off into dream.
–
Springtime arrives late.
Snows of far Afghanistan
cover many sins.
–
Summer’s searing heat
does not scorch nearly as much
as Pakistan’s nukes.
–
Enormous folly
resides in Great Leader’s mind.
People soon perish.
–
Murderous cycle
keeps turning in hardened hearts.
Fish can’t leap from lake.
