Villanelle: the Dilemma of the Non-Violent - 54

Villanelle: The Dilemma of the Non-Violent – 54 Must Nature fulfil its terminal plans The question is Are we in its primal aims Can Man be content with what he understands Does Nature kill for fun or to teach lessons Are we central to the Multi-Verse’s claims Must Nature fulfil its terminal plans Does the Tao inform Siva’s dream drunk dance Or is some standstill boredom reason for games Can Man be content with what he understands Is so much lightning-thunder mere flash in pans So many players in outfields lost without names Must Nature fulfil its terminal plans Must Nature destroy what IT creates in trance Life and Death the Known and Unknown whom one blames Can Man be content with what he understands Is the idea Maya a contresens Who would create to destroy what he proclaims Must Nature fulfil its terminal plans Can Man be content with what he understands © T. Wignesan – Paris, 2015
