Terrorists Cry Foul (6 Senryu)
by Lori L Moore → (All Poetry by Lori L Moore)
  
Share   Print  Save   Follow   Share on Facebook

Terrorists cry foul
claim to be misunderstood
hold them liable

War is always harsh
it should never be first choice
freedom’s price is high

United Nations
a threat to the free world
sovereignty destroyed

America stands
terror fights against us
death calls each by name

Defense is a right
it is clear in nature
peace relies on strength

Take it up the ass
Let terrorists run wild
bend over, play dead

Senryu is a three-line Japanese poem, often but not always ironic or satirical in nature, similar in structure to a haiku.

Each of these Senryu can be read alone or with the collection. I really hope none of you are offended by the first line of the last Senryu.

This is a forceful write, Lori. Sad, but true. You put into words what many of us feel, but don't know how to say.

Excellent example of your creativity Lori. The Senryus were all well done and read like headlines to what goes on in this sad world of ours. Odd, that I understood the 3rd stanza the most. Many people do not realize that the United Nations can sometimes be the biggest obstacle to permanent world peace, even if that was what the original intent when it was created, was.

Lori, I can see this has been carefully thought through, but I wondered about the 3rd Senryu... 'United Nations a threat to the free world...' ? Am I missing something?
