Eat no life you cut open first to let blood flow
Bird on wing fish that swim crawls slithers all on fours
Dare you stare down the dilemma watch trees sole grow
Villanelle: The Dilemma of the Non-Violent – 19
Eat no life you cut open first to let blood flow
Bird on wing fish that swim crawls slithers all on fours
Dare you stare down the dilemma watch trees sole grow
Must you resist to save your life from luckless blow
Watch your wife and children beg for life on all fours
Eat no life you cut open first to let blood flow
The green dress our earth dons pump all lungs to glow
The milk that babies suck flows from grass-fed udders
Dare you stare down the dilemma watch trees sole grow
Even trees do ooze with sap pretend not to know
Oblivious the falling tree on insect throes
Eat no life you cut open first to let blood flow
All that stirs all that stands still must pain undergo
Astral bodies all keep moving on first set course
Dare you stare down the dilemma watch trees sole grow
No Jain who tramples on acariens* must rue
The day he was born on this earth rife with woes
Eat no life you cut open first to let blood flow
Dare you stare down the dilemma watch trees sole grow
Senor Don Ron, Sir: If I ('do you really know') do not know what you think I should know in this 'non-violent world', how is it possible I wrote - up to now - what I'm writing about this world ??? Maybe you think (I do not blame you), I'm from Andromeda which is about to clash, collide and cuddle our/your Milky Way galaxy??? Nonetheless, I like what you say since it rhymes, so may you be pardoned for what you say since you read and comment on everything that is posted on the site that you may not know if you are commenting on one piece while you are thinking of another or many others.
Yes, indeed, Nature is very violent, but at what VIOLENT cost to those infinite number of lives it begot in the very first place!!!
LIKE eating what you bleed to death for no reason at all since the non-violent way can just as well afford "vege"-fed LIFE...
I believe you are describing the ecosystem that supports all life. As we trample it down to the lowly dust mite, do you really know what we are doing to what we think is a nonviolent world?
Nature is not as benign as it looks. Nature is very violent. But that very nature of violence has created the most magnificent survivors that Earth has ever seen. We are good example and because we are intelligent, should know that to destroy the very best will destroy all the rest.
