Deserter

A Villanelle

By Badger HillPublished 9 years ago • 1 min read

We stood for a dynasty in the wings

I was faithful despite hesitation

You left us before seeing what fate brings

Now you’re but a puppet on cotton strings

Never shall you help this broken nation

We stood for a dynasty in the wings

You’re not progressive, you follow false kings

While we thrive without their cruel dictation

You left us before seeing what fate brings
