Haiku for Villains—In the Interest of Equal Time

For that Colossus of Scholarship (Shout Out [Sorbiquet])
Cecil Rhodes was an
Anglophile of the worst kind:
Mirror-Mugabe
~P~

Multinational Corporations (Shout Out Amanda [Diva])
40 MNCs
On my block; the new Wal-Mart
Makes for 41
~P~

Hamburglar (Shout Out Jorvorskie Lane)
Being an addict
Is no excuse for stealing
Seek McCounseling
~P~

Brangelina (Shout Out Shiloh)
Maybe we should blame
Jennifer for not being
Attractive enough
~P~

Agent Smith
"Humans...a virus"
Like so many, he became
What he despised most.
~J~

Psychomachia
What nobler purpose?
Removing our worst aspects.
Result: Mr. Hyde.
~J~

Genesis 3:1
So much damage wrought
By an enemy bearing
no arms and no legs.
~J~

Wicked Perspective
Crusher of women.
Thief. Fugitive. Murderer.
Behold...Dorothy.
~J~

Beam me up Scotty...twice, please. (with appologies to Mr. Irons)
Transport accident,
Removing our worst aspects.
Result: Wimpy Kirk
~S~

All mixed up, don’t know what to do
One Holden Caufield,
Society was his worst
enemy: himself.
~S~

Vampire Perspective (the book version!) (again, with appologies to Mr. Irons)
Captor of women,
[Thief]. Fugitive. Murderer.
Behold...”Hero” Will Smith.
