A thoughtful senryu, Harry. Who are the 2 despots who butter the west's bread with fake democracy or lies? You leave us with much to ponder. Best wishes, Brian

Despots come in the guise of great leaders and the common men are duped. Great senryu, harry !

Despots will never cease to exist, Harry; unfortunately not everybody learns from History! An excellent Senryu! ~ Regards // paul

Harry, that is an excellent haiku. You did an excellent job of conveying the goals and snares of despots, but regrettably, they are present everywhere.
