I found a short monologue poem from “The Witcher” where Geralt is speaking to Dandelion about the dark side of humanity. I’m not sure if this monologue is from the “The Witcher” video game or the popular “The Witcher” TV show on NetFlix.
This short 5 stanza monologue poem has a front-rhymed abb, cdd, eff, ghh, ijj rhyme scheme which gives it a reverent spiritual feel. Almost like a sermon.
If I were to perform this monologue poem, I would definitely take ’em to church by speaking the words of this poem as if I was giving some sort of testimony on the weakness of the flesh.
Check out the monologue poem down below and leave a comment about how you would perform this monologue poem.
“People like to invent monsters and
monstrosities. Then they seem less monstrous themselves.
When they get blind-drunk,
cheat, steal,
beat their wives,
starve an old woman, when they kill
a trapped fox with an axe or riddle
the last existing unicorn with arrows,
they like to think
that the Bane entering cottages
at daybreak is more monstrous
than they are.
They feel better then.
They find it easier to live.”
