Villanelle: the Dilemma of the Non-Violent - 59
Villanelle: The Dilemma of the Non-Violent – 59
Does Nature dispose at random by whim or wish
In all probability by set built-in laws
Part of free will which wills ill makes karma punish
Will good works against Nature’s grain admonish
Can living beings alter the Big Plan strict laws
Does Nature dispose at random by whim or wish
Should Nature keep house for the tenant in anguish
About who’s the owner of the wind that blows
Part of free will which wills ill makes karma punish
Nor for those who refuse house rules to distinguish
Turn not fire down let hot water run indoors
Does Nature dispose at random by whim or wish
Or when the owner’s preparing to cook hashish
The tenant goes out to dine dance with rich in-laws
Part of free will which wills ill makes karma punish
Nature sets the rules of the game in his hospice
The guest who knocks late from revelries stays outdoors
Does Nature dispose at random by whim or wish
Part of free will which wills ill makes karma punish
