6I wrote this for my AP English class. It's the first draft of "Villanelle for the Villified"
Go not down without retaliation
They fight to cover up their lies as true
Time is ripe to rise and capture action
Empty promises are an extension
Of hidden acts that we will come to rue
Go not down without retaliation
Boldly fight against manipulation
It's time to take up that which we are due
Time is ripe to rise and capture action
Clawing out in fierce determination
We break our backs in order to get through
Go not down without retaliation
Only once can there be revolution
What those in power fear is something new
Time is ripe to rise and capture action
Loathe to be diverted by distraction
Your freedoms decay fast in front of you
Go not down without retaliation
Time is ripe to rise and capture action
