Haibun is a combination of prose and haiku poetry. In this haibun, I have adapted the format into a poltical statement to fit the times. A tanka was added as a conclusion

What is really happening while truth suffers?

_________

war of words
compare and contrast
beware sham
__________

truth over time
sinks from emotion
who suffers
_____

deceitful
defy laws smiling
demented
__________
Tanka

questionable truth
only an international
metaphorical
politically popular
ordinary double standard
