He knows the Way

My first Villanelle on Man vs. Man.....
This was probably written in mid June of 2006, I believe.
I assume I was fresh from Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged, when these words were jotted down. Here we go...

And sipping the cup, He reflects on the rancorous travails of the dale,
Surpassing senses, they inflict on themselves and Him the squalor;
But His intransigent and rapier soul, keeps Him heroic in the tale.

Expediting the evil, on the thrust of such Atlases, they abet and sail,
Notching the ‘Produce’ vulpine way, opted for ordeal against valor
And sipping the cup, He reflects on the rancorous travails of the dale,

For the unyielding mind, the Loners faced the scorn of the pale
To degrade the spirits, imperiled with countless incubus and failure,
But His intransigent and rapier soul, keeps Him heroic in the tale.

For the light in Him, never refuses to illumine his Self and Soul,
The wrong doctrine has still failed to render itself without the armor,
And sipping the cup, He reflects on the rancorous travails of the dale,

The Vista musters both moments, permitting them to fiercely wrangle
The Guardians and Parasites deceive to hide His spirit of oleander,
But His intransigent and rapier soul, keeps Him heroic in the tale.

Being ‘The One’ than ‘a one’ means He is not one to rail and hale,
Glancing to thee, He feels the worth of ‘The One’s’ surfeit galore.
And sipping the cup, He reflects on the rancorous travails of the dale,
But His intransigent and rapier soul, keeps Him heroic in the tale.
