Villanelle: Who But Great Powers Make World Look Like Market Place
Villanelle : Who but Great Powers make World look like market place
Who but Great Powers make World look like market place
The crib courtyards of Russia China and US
Who reigns in the United States concerns all in space
Don’t tell the down-trodden rest they’re out of the race
Even sinking island states may hope for prowess
Who but Great Powers make World look like market place
Lebens raum’s an excuse for Conquistadores
Spices for regal banquets stolen art pieces
Who reigns in the United States concerns all in space
A hundred years of wars deprives Man of grace
Leaders thrive on gullible populace nonetheless
Who but Great Powers make World look like market place
The more the whine the more the fish-market brag place
What counts is the clout each Big Brother promises
Who reigns in the United States concerns all in space
What makes a nation great if not the populace
Can any man then replace what’s good in US
Who but Great Powers make World look like market place
Who reigns in the United States concerns all in space
