The idea is quite interesting...Simple, but thought-provoking. You got the haiku structure right.

The only thing I noticed was that the tense was kinda inconsistent. I don't know if that's what you were going for or not, but I might change the "Did not" to "Do not." If that's not what you had in mind, don't worry about. I very much like it anyway.

Simple, but good political statement here I can't really critique as I don't know much about poetry, but I thought haiku was supposed to have five lines instead of three?

You might be thinking of a limerick - in English the haiku structure is three lines with 5, 7, and 5 syllables. Thanks for the feedback!
