Analysis of Haiku Theory: POLITICS
Haiku Theory: Politics
Hysteria sells
So it’s repackaged often
Gaslighting voters
They use a weakness
To force voters to relent
Then embrace false truths
We delude ourselves
Each with their version of truth
Naive Realism
We trust with blind faith
That politicians care more
For people than votes
Culpable leaders
Who are morally honest
Evade politics
