Haiku: Conventional War

#1
garlic and honey
tasteful summer sensations –
pungent politics

#2
ears stuffed with cotton
jingoists scorn other's views
God still on spring break

#3
partisan’s season -
scientists, politicians
elites viewed worthless

#4
ignorance is king -
men walking around naked
this summer’s fashion

#5
most parties wounded
anarchists aim for the heart
tea rebels force fall

#6
government suspect
nepotism’s hard winter
leaders elected
