POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Note:The inspiration for this came to me while traveling home from an errand.I was thinking of MSM news casting and the lies told to propagate a political agenda. I found of the book, The Art of War and insights on how this deception is used to get the advantage in politics, business, warfare, religion or pretty much all aspects of human community.I shortened it to rulers and warriors for space limitations of this haiku form of poetry. I in-sightedwrote and published it today for the first time on my blog, the 18th of July,2018.

There is no need to be fool any more. You have brilliantly gone through the book, the art of agenda, and presented this brilliant and amazing haiku....10

Thank you K. Mahakul for you kind words and rating of 10. The poem is more for others than for me. I was always a good student and graduated from High School and University with top honors. Now, I share my knowledge with others in the hope that more will begin to do their own homework and become masters of their own world view.
