A villanelle poem about coming together.

Exoteric

 

Oppressed and Oppressors unite today!

Seeds of peace can produce forests of love.

Stop, listen, learn: hear what they have to say.

 

Keep Pharisees in suits and ties away

their lies are shears that slice the wings of doves.

Oppressed and Oppressors unite today!

 

Prudent prophets appear to show ways

that open our eyes to the lies of gov�"

Stop, listen, learn: hear what they have to say.

 

Magicians play tricks to deceive in ways

that destroy imaginations of love.

Oppressed and Oppressors unite today!

 

Teachers speak keys that open the doorway.

Expand our beliefs to accept thereof

Stop, listen, learn: hear what they have to say.

 

Affluent shadows plan scams of dismay.

King of Kings passion protects as a glove.

Oppressed and Oppressors unite today!

Stop, listen, learn: hear what they have to say.
