Notes About The Poem

I question whether our elected officials are serving us or serving themselves.

What Governs

Clowns in Washington
                              Performing in tainted masks
                                  Fraud and deception

A beauty! Such a sharp senryu about politicians steeped in concealment + manipulation. Best wishes, Brian

I avoid making any comments about politics, but I must say you have a nicely-written senryu here.

Thank you for your positive comment. I know politics is a very sensitive subject for us all, and I was happy to be able to express myself without being attacked. Your sincere candor is appreciated.
