Villanelle: the Dilemma of the Non-Violent - 42

Villanelle: The Dilemma of the Non-Violent – 42 Wrap the self in fear for the dark cloaks the beast Shut the door on vile thoughts no fear will wild knock Does Death need an invitation for fun feast Zhen the Eldest Son will pound the skies in jest Ephemeral beings all will link arms lock Wrap the self in fear for the dark cloaks the beast Kan the Middle Son will come flooding through mist Ephemeral beings all will cower in dock Does Death need an invitation for fun feast Gen the Youngest Son will cough fire at best Ephemeral beings all will turn to rock Wrap the self in fear for the dark cloaks the beast Sun the Eldest Daughter will puff past the least Ephemeral beings all will shudder shock Does Death need an invitation for fun feast Bright Li and Joyous Tui will sing dance the beat Ephemeral beings all won’t this rhyme mock Wrap the self in fear for the dark cloaks the beast Does Death need an invitation for fun feast © T.
