Senryu Rant: Love On a Shoestring

#1
warehouse board and care
elderly housed in neglect -
ass kicking death camps

#2
inner city schools
vertical playing fields free -
only teachers taxed

#3
bigots block poor votes,
“limbo rock” the new dance craze -
politics of war

#4
war on drugs conceit –
prisons new investment frame
streets safe, guards now thugs

#5
justice for the rich -
their waste products trickle down
peons dream of love

#6
kama sutra love
pretzel logic both parties -
vampires don’t reflect
