Politicians are
consummate liars who make
shit smell like honey,
drawing us to reach
fearful conclusions, to suck
poison like nectar,
toxins running through
our minds, deceiving us ‘til
truth is alien,
falsehood appealing,
fear driving us to voting
booths, panic ruling,
tyrants holding sway,
extinguishing flames of truth,
perverting our minds.

(I use the term “haikoid” to differentiate my use of the syllable count from Japanese haiku, an age-old poetic form which has many thematic and other requirements.)
