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.
