The revelation of our discontent
Writ large, reflecting on our time
Bears signature to our own descent
Strange the brew that does ferment
Uncorked, disgorging violent crime
The revelation of our discontent
Unsocial media drives torment
Fake news , dispensing purest slime
Bears signature to our own descent
Nightly terror, right intent
Dreams, for whom the bell doth chime
The revelation of our discontent
Stabbing pain, loveless vent
Fallen Angels, ahead of time
Bears signature to our own descent
Swift reaction by malcontent
Peace shattering paradigm
The revelation of our discontent
Bears signature to our own descent

Well done Graham a fabulous villanelle!
Good to read a sound villanelle!
Sadly all very true Graham and well put. I posted what follows this before I read yours and maybe it's all we can do as individuals. Very similar in format, quite a coincidence. The world is still a beautiful place.
