Villanelle: The Dilemma of the Non-Violent – Part III - 49
The ONLY god there is Is there in your eyes
Close your eyes at sundown Who awaits at dawn
Infinite grandiose Multi-Verse never dies
Physico-chemical bio-logicalize
Infinitesimal these laws never born
The ONLY god there is Is there in your eyes
Are not players in the field fire and ice
Trillion thunder blasts gouge out space new-born
Infinite grandiose Multi-Verse never dies
The principle’s Yang/Yin or love turned to lies
If each living thing does not obey command
The ONLY god there is Is there in your eyes
Be not so vain as to think your god’s more wise
Just watch the Heavens toil and churn every dawn
Infinite grandiose Multi-Verse never dies
Nature has no need for mythic petty lies
Nothing humans cook up reflects Nature’s lawn
The ONLY god there is Is there in your eyes
Infinite grandiose Multi-Verse never dies
