Reparation
(A Villanelle)
by Nancy Ness
Youth emulates in kind what's seen and done,
Yet virtue's gone astray from golden rule.
We ought remand the spoils we've begun.
Seems elder wanton ways confound our young,
Imparting messages quite often dual.
Youth emulates in kind what's seen and done.
Parental models having their own fun
The norm now thinking altered state is cool.
We ought remand the spoils we've begun.
Respect for morals pillaged one by one
Once silver screen's turned violent and gruel.
Youth emulates in kind what's seen and done.
Skilled digitally our 'latch-key' kids with guns
Found more and more now poorly aimed at school.
We ought remand the spoils we've begun.
Pawns in a deadly game that can't be won,
In retrospect, no doubt we've been the fool.
Youth emulates in kind what's seen and done;
We ought remand the spoils we've begun.
A simile is as easy as pie, but a
metaphor is a piece of cake!
