Notes About The Poem

For those not familiar with the Star Wars story line, the leader of the Republic Senate, Chancelor Palpatine, was secretly an evil Sith Lord named Darth Sidious. He created a civil war situation (secretly controlling both sides) to stay in power, eventually to turn the republic into an empire and declare himself as emperor. The events occurred in Star Wars episodes 2 and 3, Attack Of The clones, and Revenge Of The Sith.

Obama Is Really Darth Sidious

Guns are being seized.
Government stockpiles ammo.
Insurrection soon?!

I'm not really a conspiracy nut, but I think the USA has been going in the wrong direction for a while, and going astray ever so much faster since Obama was elected. The bit about seizing arms and hoarding ammo is both true and scary. I've been reading that the gov't is also trying to control emergency food distribution and interfere with families' rights to raise their own food. Scarier!

Funny, but also scarily true (not the Darth Sidious part).

Oh very deep clever Haiku Mark. I would love to see an end to wars and atrocities but sadly we don't live in an ideal world - your few words speak volumes. hugs Jan xxx
