W3 PROMPT # 205...THE SKEPTIC"S KADDISH

 TANKA


beneath the surface
of extreme arrogance lies
a deranged nut case
causing death and destruction
to satisfy his ego

how can this happen
they should  teach history in schools
they've been here before
wreaking havoc and mayhem
weak men cowards with issues

stop dreaming bozo
you cannot make it happen
the bible says so
you're in for a big surprise
no way out even for you

  2. 'how can this happen?' - the question so many of us are asking. Your tankas capture it all so well, Rall.

  4. Rall, the line “weak men cowards with issues” really lands for me—it feels blunt but honest. I really like how you move from anger to calling it out directly at the end.

    Much love,
