Villanelle for the True Villains
thoughts and prayers
Creating massive change is up to you.
Make stronger laws not based on who has paid.
Your thoughts and prayers mean nothing till you do.
You serve continually only the few,
The ones who idolize both cash and death.
Creating massive change is up to you.
You set these weapons free, then misconstrue
The fault to lie with others — YOU must change.
Your thoughts and prayers mean nothing till you do.
You call the killers ill, but it is YOU
Who need to learn to value human life.
Creating massive change is up to you.
Your empty words mean nothing that is true
Until you buy your soul back, making change.
Your thoughts and prayers mean nothing till you do.
We see you clearly. The bill has come due.
You’ll pay by losing all respect and power.
Creating massive change is up to you.
Your thoughts and prayers mean nothing till you do.
