On Villanelle
Any American Politician
We crept behind a monsters visions, their
long tails of color filled passions, lies
that crushed us with their enormous weight.
Will you delay the gnawing teeth of time!
No change to our uncomfortable nests,
we crept behind the monsters visions there.
The promise you made was just a line,
we sat here unaware of evil lies
that crushed us with their enormous weight.
Our blown down sails of hopes and dreams gone by,
Our thorned rose bushes of memory,
we crept behind the monsters visions there.
We woke without a home or chivalry,
we woke a photograph on your monies
That crushed us with it's enormous weight.
Where is the intellectually free,
who worries about the needs of many,
who crept behind the monsters visions there,
that crushed us with it's enormous weight.
