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
