Brilliance Breeds Madness
( who is the villain of this modern Villanelle?)
It is said that brilliance breeds madness,
And those minds are the most delicious;
(Finger licks, cold eyes flicker darkness.)
Elegant and refined wickedness,
So intelligently ostentatious;
It is said that brilliance breeds madness.
Devouring some just for their rudeness,
Others due to his childhood so vicious,
(Finger licks, cold eyes flicker darkness.)
Inferior humans are his weakness,
A human predator, injudicious;
It is said that brilliance breeds madness.
With sips of wine, blasé frankness -
Gourmet meals of victims so scrumptious,
(Finger licks, cold eyes flicker darkness.)
No name for this kind of evilness -
No name for this kind of malicious;
It is said that brilliance breeds madness.
(Finger licks, cold eyes flicker darkness.)
