The mind that’s massaged from birth makes no moan
Neither those who kill by proxy for gold
Must he not those who’re not his kind disown

Villanelle: The Dilemma of the Non-Violent – 36

Blame not the man whose mind is not his own
From birth to death he’ll do what he’s told
Must he not those who’re not his kind disown

Does the killer kill what to him is unknown
When does he decide when When he makes bold
Blame not the man whose mind is not his own

Do those who are killed kill in the Unknown
Killer who killed Who cast him in mind mould
Must he not those who’re not his kind disown

Who does the killer kill if not his own
Who’s the real killer Can it be told
Blame not the man whose mind is not his own

The mind that’s massaged from birth makes no moan
Neither those who kill by proxy for gold
Must he not those who’re not his kind disown

When each god must swallow words not his own
How might those bred into belief take hold
Blame not the man whose mind is not his own
Must he not those who’re not his kind disown

Reviewed by Ronald Hull
Reviewed on June 13, 2022
Many have that mind not their own. And they certainly do not feel any pleasure in something they feel is just their birthright. And they certainly will not disagree with their lifeblood. Why they are so dangerous.
