Villanelle: The Dilemma of the Non-Violent – 16

Covert modern State wiles mock Greek democracy
Must People cast votes to elect block Parties
Athenians all took part in vox populi

Founding Fathers of Great America Party
Chief Washington revolution guaranties
Covert modern State wiles mock Greek democracy

Corsican blood runs blue in French royalty
Scottish rites oath govern secret warranties
Athenians all took part in vox populi

Politicos Police legal fraternity
Avarice cruelty sexualities
Covert modern State wiles mock Greek democracy

No vote counts for individuality
All is grist to Big Money incongruities
Athenians all took part in vox populi

Will Grand Architect of Universality
Show his true face from behind inanities
Covert modern State wiles mock Greek democracy
Athenians all took part in vox populi

My Lord Senor Don Ron, I can see how my barbed menaces and dark warnings in my previous responses to your babblings has brought you to your senses, and that your Lordship has deigned to toe the temperate line and adopt a sane posture for the benefit of wayward passerby reader-poets. Good for you, Sir, considering you have much to lose in your self-inflicted plight as resident AD critic for all seasons and annoyances.

As such, to allay all your fears from now on - provided you continue to behave - I agree tentatively to withdraw my defamation suit for the betterment of your continued well-being.

Enjoy life while you may...

Unfortunately, ancient Greece and ancient Athens is gone. The representative democracy and United States is a valiant, but poor example of the form of government described in The Republic.

And you're right about the corruption and money, majority rule and all of the other vices that have crept into so-called civilized government.

Ron
