Villanelle: the Dilemma of the Non-Violent - 47

Villanelle: The Dilemma of the Non-Violent – 47 Hail! The Historic Document! Heil! Furies! Hardly a week gone leaders put us to sleep The Debate’s back to more cannons for countries Can ISIS kill more than three 4C degrees All that bluff about 1. 5 makes skin creep Hail! The Historic Document! Heil! Furies! Build Great Walls to keep out killers refugees Can walls hold back tides that swell from oceans deep The Debate’s back to more cannons for countries How sweet the Commander-in-Chief’s qualities Poor peoples adore applaud cherish worship Hail! The Historic Document! Heil! Furies! Cannons ablaze keep up smoke from foundaries Daze the peoples under haze in tight whip grip The Debate’s back to more cannons for countries Let leaders bask with two lines in histories Will you let them dump lush Earth on rubbish heap Hail! The Historic Document! Heil! Furies! The Debate’s back to more cannons for countries © T. Wignesan – Paris, 2015
