“Sign of the Ages”

Sign of the Ages (a villanelle) by Lukey M. (’23)

This story is a sign of the ages

Lightning strikes the sky very high

Then their very large family rages

 

The energetic kids hate their cages

Only when they’re calm, they let out a giant sigh

This story is a sign of the ages

 

The parents also hate their current life and want to turn the pages

They want to start a new chapter in their life, you wonder why

Then their very large family rages

 

Father tries harder for wages

He yelled so much that he has to cry

This story is a sign of the ages

 

And then Mother engages

She cries even more and strains her eye

Then your very large family rages

 

Remember this is a battle that enrages

Until they break out of the cages and it’s dry

This story is a sign of the ages

When your very large family rages.
