Crucifixion

The title speaks for itself.

Crucifixion  ( A Villanelle )

They don't have a clue
to a truer way,
a new point-of-view.

Shown by things they do
and the words they say,
they don't have a clue.

Vile thoughts they pursue
make them underplay
a new point-of-view.

Now they torture you.
They don't see your ray.
They don't have a clue.

They don't see what's true
as they bleed and slay
a new point-of-view.

Soon you touch the blue
from your shell of clay.
They don't have a clue,
a new point-of-view.

Thanks for your review, wordman! They still don't have a clue, right?

Someone murdered something here . Taking from the word underplay . Ok my take here Aethereal is someone doesn't like a new idea or a new way of doing things. People really don't like or are often resistant to change. Some says its been like this and we been doing it like this and its going to stay like this ...

Perhaps that's where the word " outsourcing " came from and invented.

Thanks for reviewing my Villanelle, Neil! The mesmerized googly-eyed minions are always resistant to change. Hide from those minions who march to the same drum beat lest they burn you at the stake.

HA HA HA ..you hit me on the right spot .. You are so funny with your smart mouth I mean mind. Hey I got a song for you... But you are right. Don't tell them that the planets revolves around the sun unless you have another spare head.

[Phantom Heart]

This is my favorite style of poem. I love what you have written here!

[Aethereal]

Thanks, Morgan! Refrains found in Villanelles add beauty to any subject written within its form. It reads like a prayer, a song, or a chant. I kept to only two rhyme sounds throughout this poem, but this isn't necessary for a Villanelle.

It is always so refreshing to see poets attempting something different.

Thanks, Rose! The Villanelle is a stunningly beautiful poetic form.
