Villanelle: the Dilemma of the Non-Violent - 39

Villanelle: The Dilemma of the Non-Violent - 39 Carbon molecules woken up by thunder Is violence life-wire of existence Can God come into being beyond Nature Violence in warp and woof of our nature Can one avoid being part of violence Carbon molecules woken up by thunder Who put Arjuna on guard against anger The cause of the Great War was not in suspense Can God come into being beyond Nature Arrogate violence and commit blunder Can one take life and affirm his existence Carbon molecules woken up by thunder Taoists live life in accord with Nature The seasons come and go in munificence Can God come into being beyond Nature Make not god to quibble about his Father No god re-appears like this Grand Existence Carbon molecules woken up by thunder Can GOD come into being beyond Nature © T. Wignesan – Paris, 2015
