What aberration would cause:
Someone to attend to such foul play,
As the annihilation that would pause
a life, one filled with the air their being draws.
What aggravation could possibly stray,
A sound mind into transgressing a written clause
Of which all human life agreed to in our laws.
What Delusion would bring someone to slay
Another human being, meeting the jaws
-Of death, as their heart is transfixed by claws,
Seeking to steal their life, unafraid to disobey
And attempt to take away the life of a young fraus.
This crime can not be mended by gauze,
Instead, on the heart it will surely weigh,
Until it infects the perpetrator and gnaws
Picking on every grain, every haws,
Til it unravels and will portray
The nightmare within, the criminal withdraws
From their sanity, only to begin a constant stream of guffaws.

This is my first attempt at writing a Villanelle. I hope it's alright.
