A Misanthrope’s Villanelle
All of mankind can go to hell,
That evil, proud, rapacious race,
May I live to hear its funeral knell.
To hear the tolling of that bell
Would bring a smile to my glum face.
All of mankind can go to hell.
I want to be the one to tell
Of mankind’s final fall from grace.
May I live to hear its funeral knell.
May they end up where demons dwell,
With no one there to plead their case.
All of mankind can go to hell.
It would suit me so very well
To see them gone without a trace.
May I live to hear their funeral knell.
Only their demise my rage will quell,
That mistake of God’s, the earth’s disgrace.
All of mankind can go to hell.
May I live to hear its funeral knell.
