Villanelle: the Dilemma of the Non-Violent - 38
Villanelle: The Dilemma of the Non-Violent- 38
More the man-made gods the more the quarrel
Who wants to pray in a private night-club
Each faithful thinks his god’s beyond riddle
Where faithfuls gather their gods aren’t idle
Rather would they arm theirs to teeth with club
More the man-made gods the more the quarrel
Strange each nation sports some god from cradle
Nations want exclusive membership club
Each faithful thinks his god’s beyond riddle
All nations dream holding World by bridle
So they give their gods the fossil fumes rub
More the man-made gods the more the quarrel
When words from gods one another needle
Do they hesitate to reach for the club
Each faithful thinks his god’s beyond riddle
Now that gods got our Earth in a throttle
Will ONLY GOD intervene: that’s the rub
More the man-made gods the more the quarrel
Each faithful thinks his god’s beyond riddle
