Villanelle: the Dilemma of the Non-Violent - 34
Villanelle: The Dilemma of the Non-Violent – 34
If only the tired masses had time to think
If only they knew leaders were prisoners too
Would not security forces with us link
The rocks some throw will into proper heads sink
Even leaders will no longer be taboo
If only the tired masses had time to think
The real Enemy makes money to clink
In the ears of leaders who’ll join their ranks too
Would not then security forces with us link
Though this less-than-one-per-cent makes the World drink
Dance drunk much material progress to woo
If only the tired masses had time to think
Masses choose leaders who need moneyed-class wink
These mafia-made leaders dupe masses even more
If only security forces would with us link
In the end little use if masses could think
What leaders want more of is the vote or two
If only the tired masses had time to think
Would not security forces with us link
