There's a fiddler on the White House roof.
As the world burns, he is clearly aloof.
Just like Emperor Nero,
he is surely no hero, 
and frankly we've had enough of this goof.

was an emperor named Honorius.
Though Rome's plight was alarming
he spent his time chicken farming,
a pursuit which made him notorious.

We can single out the tenacious grass after a storm
And the most devoted officials in turbulence.
A bully knows nothing about morality and justice,
While a wise man always harbours benevolence.

No Suit Trump

Do you suppose the Emperor knows 

he isn’t wearing any clothes

and doesn't have a stitch of what

should keep hidden all he's got

or has not?

And if he knew, what would he do

but pretend he didn’t.

Broken Wings - a Haiku Series of 3

The broken wings of
an emperor dragonfly.
Surprise feast for ants.

Fallen from his dreams
reached realities, 
now working harder.

with shattered love life, 
she took human services, 
many lives salvaged.
