Five Breaking News Haikus (+1)

In the news roundup: Cosby, Kanye, Trump, Macron, North and South Korea, and how to graduate more low income college students.

Jury Finds Bill Cosby Guilty In Retrial

Your week in review, in haiku.

World’s got ninety-nine

problems, but stanning Kanye

ain’t one. No Chance, right?

Macron’s magic spell:

Tree-planting, hand-shaking man

of Trumpian dreams

Teachers march. Trump tweets.

Markets skid. Cosby shrieks. “Cat

memes now, please” sighs World.

Twitter taps her foot:

“R. Kelly — right over there!”

Waiting to exhale

North and South as one.

No more nukes or abuse; no

more Dennis Rodman.

Cosby is guilty

But I loved his show so much.

How did we get here?

Thanks to “T.K.,” a devoted raceAhead reader, for this submission.

Have a drama-free weekend!

On Point

The Woke Leader
