Villanelle: Brand Not a Nation As Satan's Igloo

Villanelle: Brand not a nation as Satan’s igloo

Brand not a nation as Satan’s igloo
   All nations on their own play Satan’s role
If S/He created you, then Satan too

It’s the Satan in you brands other too
   For the Satan in the other’s calls roll
Brand not a nation as Satan’s igloo

If Satan you think freezes in igloo
   Tell me who made the Satan His equal
If S/He created you, then Satan too

Those who make nations also make igloo
   For sure as Hell, nations will melt in thrall
Brand not a nation as Satan’s igloo

Nations are fine for boosting their ego
   At World Cup trials where balls get to roll
If S/He created you, then Satan too

Sink oceans, level mountains, customs too
   And the Satans will be caught shivering all
Brand not a nation as Satan’s igloo
   If S/He created you, then the Satan too.
