The Monster’s nightmare the day when heads must go
Let litter gather for the next divorced bride
Who’s guilty for some good States can’t help but sow
Villanelle: The Dilemma of the Non-Violent - 14
Who’s guilty for some good States can’t help but sow
All All who despise those on the other side
All All who bleed their hearts’ beliefs parties mow
All All who toil helpless and let their blood go
All All men of worth who keep going with tide
Who’s guilty for some good States can’t help but sow
Monster changes heads but can’t stop body grow
The Republic merely pits side against side
All All who bleed their hearts’ beliefs parties mow
The Monster’s nightmare the day when heads must go
Let litter gather for the next divorced bride
Who’s guilty for some good States can’t help but sow
Who pays for the stroke that cripples the State more
Than the dead People who make up either side
All All who bleed their hearts’ beliefs parties mow
Men of not much worth who stoke the psychic maw
Hold to ransom the fate of peoples worldwide
Who’s guilty for some good States can’t help but sow
All All who bleed their hearts’ beliefs parties mow
Truer today than it was when written in 2015. Once one belongs to a party there seems to be a duty to despise the opposite party and to hold fast to the ideals of the party whether they are still true or not. Slowing progress greatly for the state and the people suffering in the state while the obsolete, already dead, old-timers debate what is already moot.
