Villanelle: Whose condition is the worst everyone asks
Whose condition is the worst everyone asks
“Mine!” “Mine!” “Mine!” - everyone’s desperate cry
Why the powers that decide wear such sharp tusks
Look at the basking billions enjoyng tasks
Then watch the hare-lipped cock-eyed shrivelled wretch sigh
Whose condition is the worst everyone asks
Gypsy dejection makes outcaste maniacs
Black film difference opportunities buy
Why the powers that decide wear such sharp tusks
Must everyone’s fate be owed to dead crime larks
Birth time and place do not the living defy
Whose condition is the worst everyone asks
Who asked to be born let him rip open masks
Post-Big Bang soup stray elements unify
Why the powers that decide wear such sharp tusks
High and low meek and strong beg for the same marks
Nothing’s neither here nor there after we die
Whose condition is the worst everyone asks
Why the powers that decide wear such sharp tusks
