Sky Pirates: A Villanelle

[Arabella Porter]

We rule the skies

The skulls and crossbones of the air

The twinkle of fear in your eyes

 

We, authority’s demise

Those who dare

We rule the skies

 

Why should we apologize?

We’re sorry we don’t care

We rule the skies

 

We’re not fooled by patriotic lies

Our hearts are bare

We rule the skies

 

The anarchy she denies

A queen and the land she buys

But we rule the skies

 

A bird still has his wings when he dies

His own wings, he cannot share

We rule the skies

And the twinkle of fear in your eyes

[Arabella Porter]

when you make fun of me, you will either spell "aren't" correctly or say "are not".
