The Earth- a villanelle
Liars sleep in the soft and gentle night
 Broken and battered full of sin and hate
 Our world so corrupt, a pitiful sight
 
 Yelling, violence, war, who is in the right?
 Love disappearing, what will be out fate?
 Liars sleep in the soft and gentle night
 
 Children are miserable, all parents fight
 Divorces gaining ground at a quick rate
 Our world so corrupt, a pitiful sight
 
 This Earth so vile is it at its height?
 No one allowed to enter heaven's gate
 Liars sleep in the soft and gentle night
 
 We could try and change it with all our might
 But at this date it's probably too late
 Our world so corrupt, a pitiful sight
 
 A crumbling world growing dim not bright
 Earth reaching its expiration date
 Liars sleep in the soft and gentle night
 Our world so corrupt, a pitiful sight
