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

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

Reviewed by Ronald Hull
Reviewed on June 24, 2022
I believe you are referring to a pledge to change in the face of global warming. But just like today, the debate always turns toward providing more funds for the machine of war that drives economies. It seems as though without war we cannot exist. But it's absolutely sure that with global warming we won't exist. The canary in the cage has already died, but we are still pumping armaments into Ukraine and pumping oil from the ground.
