Monoku volume 1

#1 – useless – “when mad men let evil reign unchecked in the name of democracy”

#2 – hidden agendas – “in politics and finance there’s no one we can trust, not even ourselves”

#3 – because i said so – “pounding one’s chest and roaring obscenities does not make them a leader”

#4 – bull crap – “the more you spread, the more people will pay to get rid of the smell”

#5 – perhaps they were right - “we poets have always believed we can use words to change the world—maybe guns will work better”

Not sure about the guns, but I like your monokus. Blunt and to the point. Heaven will have sweeter tones, righteousness. God bless, WELL DONE!
