Haiku of Common Dreams

Helena Cobbam

troop surge in iraq
best outcome we could hope for
postpone the breakdown


Holtzman and Cooper

take out attorneys
replace them with your cronies
win next election


Richard Behan

hydrocarbon law
sharing the wealth of iraq
among the bushies


Garrison Keillor

current occupant
goes for a walk in the park
and nobody cares


Amy Goodman

grim experiment
sit march write donate demand
get rid of gitmo


Robert Sheer

we shot pat tillman
and blamed it on the bad guys
poster boy for war

Haiku of Iraq in Fragments

change men's hearts and minds
with the barrel of a tank
it's impossible

we want to close
the doors of depravity
left by invaders

rockets and bullets
violence and suffering
whose side is god on

america's reach
pervades our society
no one can escape

our town is empty
only ghosts of our fathers
blowing in the wind

Haiku of Jihad

Hassan Rashid al-Beleid

colonization
our land is sold in silence
yankees steal the oil


Soliman al-Somali

brother come forward
buy eternity from god
sacrifice your soul


Omar al-Baghdadi

dogs of maliki
we have for you who sold out
nothing but the sword
