What Jimi Said

A Villanelle For Peace

Seen in Preston

Introduction

I don't know if Jimi Hendrix originated these words, but they are a real truth that should be pursued. I saw them sprayed onto a power box in Preston.

Those words inspired this villanelle.

The music is "May This Be Love", an absolute beauty from "Are You Experienced".

"Sine missione" is a Latin phrase that translates to "without mercy" or "without reprieve". In the context of Roman gladiatorial combat, it referred to fights where the defeated gladiator would not be spared, but instead would face death. Over time, "missio," the act of sparing a gladiator's life, became a more common practice, but "sine missione" was used to signify a fight where the outcome was final

I think the term Sine Missione" here indicates that love must overcome power.
