Villanelle: Better Anarchy Than Hypocrisy
Villanelle: Better anarchy than hypocrisy
Better anarchy than hypocrisy
Bluff prosperity breeds doomsday blast out
Probity keeps on toes reality
Executive responsibility
Ends before the term of office runs out
Better anarchy than hypocrisy
Quinquennat* four-year executive spree
Lead to wielding effete politics clout
Probity keeps on toes reality
Who makes speeches ring like Presidency
Mimes inane ghost-written texts like robot
Better anarchy than hypocrisy
If all that matters is "democracy"
Should not voters cast nulled votes in ballot
Probity keeps on toes reality
Who keeps arming the world breeds enmity
Wars cars hot-air mouths stoke intense black out
Better anarchy than hypocrisy
Probity keeps on toes reality
*quinquennat: French for five-year mandate of the presidency.
