Unseen Warrior (A Villanelle)
The prompt over at dVerse was to write about invisibility...I chose to loosely write about a character from a favorite film of mine and twist it up a bit...
Ignorance is bliss, courage a burden
civil disobedience an invisible ally
similar to Tyler Durden.
Anarchy calls, the answer uncertain,
brain cells telling true lies;
ignorance is bliss, courage a burden.
The sun breaks in, he closes the curtain
his life a dilapidated pigsty
similar to Tyler Durden.
Armchair revolutionary that's for certain,
hoarding Cheeto grenades and bean pies;
ignorance is bliss, courage a burden.
Exodus to Zion his mind stays rehearsing,
death an adversary sneaky and spry;
similar to Tyler Durden.
The pain of an unlived life to worsen
project mayhem's grandeur dies;
ignorance is bliss, courage a burden,
similar to Tyler Durden.

FIght Club....Pilaniuk writes some crazy books, which it is based on...too much of a good thing? take the desire to break out of the monotony of life and put it on crack...maybe
ReplyDeleteAh never seen Fight Club,.. but I like how you brought a little darkness into the normally so lyric Villanelle...
ReplyDeleteand the repeated refrain
Ignorance is bliss, courage a burden... love that :-)
Oh, the pain of an unlived life would be a difficult pain to endure for sure.
