It all happened, it was sudden
And it stung me like a bee
I never met him and now he’s in heaven

He had to take away his own token
And his life was cut up with a machete
It all happened, it was sudden

In the bathtub, as my mom cried over the phone when I was seven
I asked myself why the good people are first to climb the tree
I never met him and now he’s in heaven

This man stopped walking on the earth because he was stolen
And it was too late to go overseas
It all happened, it was sudden

The people under the driving wheel makes me craven
What will happen to my grandma with no degree
I never met him and now he’s in heaven

Why can’t he open his eyes and be risen
I struggle trying to find this control key
It all happened, it was sudden
I never met him and now he’s in heaven

This is a villanelle(but not followed syllable count) I worked on in my poetry class :)
