Consider The Alternatives

(Villanelle)
 
How can this be a way to live,
In fear of every narrowed space?
“Consider the alternatives.”

We’re trapped and bored, our thoughts restive,
Too many days stuck in one place,
How can this be a way to live?

Progressive and conservative,
Who disavowed are now disgraced,
“Consider the alternatives.”

Once force restrain was punitive,
The saving lives, we must embrace.
How can this be a way to live?

When venturing is “perversive”,
But shagging at home all day “grace”,
“Consider the alternatives.”

The greatest gift of love we give,
To put a cover on our face.
How can this be a way to live?
“Consider the alternatives.”
