Villanelle: the Dilemma of the Non-Violent - 50

Villanelle: The Dilemma of the Non-Violent – 50

Each gets to keeping own while making up whole
No one need sacrifice distinct difference
Yet the total’s not a square peg kicked in goal

The idea’s the centrifugal force control
Not to impose by force piercing self-defence
Each gets to keeping own while making up whole

No Security Council veto steam-roll
Each nation’s voice strong and pure over fence
Yet the total’s not a square peg kicked in goal

No fear genes be altered by remote control
Nor in vitrio robots spell impotence
Each gets to keeping own while making up whole

Collective will subsumes democratic role
To serve the total without interference
Yet the total’s not a square peg kicked in goal

Contradictions are not ingrained in the soul
Rather in the way bodies subvert common sense
Each gets to keeping own while making up whole
Yet the total’s not a square peg kicked in goal
