Villanelle: The Dilemma of the Non-Violent – 15 The Republic’s an headless Monster to let Power mad individuals pay to rent head The State’s enmeshed in the Admin’s red-tape net The Administration cannot think nor beget Must obey or its heads will be under-fed The Republic’s an headless Monster to let National forces keep borders tightly knit Secret Police shut People well under lead The State’s enmeshed in the Admin’s red-tape net The threat of force often makes the People fret The use of force comes from the political head The Republic’s an headless Monster to let People in modern States have cause to regret Ritually replacing the Monster’s head The State’s enmeshed in the Admin’s red-tape net Cut the head off the Monster replace State to let In time to come with selfless Robot at the head The Republic’s an headless Monster to let The State’s enmeshed in the Admin’s red-tape net © T.
