Villanelle: Is there ever a moment when reason reigns

Stand alone and your World will collapse in ruins
But what a lovely fight you got out of Life!
Is there ever a moment when reason reigns

Villanelle: Is there ever a moment when reason reigns

Is there ever a moment when reason reigns
“Never! Ever!” – cry the forsaken by Life
“Friends depart, Enemies approach,” Yi Jing ordains

Hold not to friends and think you can sever chains
Even to raise children you must beg the wife
Is there ever a moment when reason reigns

Friends are also humans the other self disdains
Like as not the same humans bind you in strife
“Friends depart, Enemies approach,” Yi Jing ordains

Stand alone and your World will collapse in ruins
But what a lovely fight you got out of Life!
Is there ever a moment when reason reigns

You can spurn the mean the blackguard: “Filthy swine!”
Turn back on hypocrites retreat into self
“Friends depart, Enemies approach,” Yi Jing ordains

The same humans who to you cause all the pains
To some others serve as saviours in strife
Is there ever a moment when reason reigns:
“Friends depart, Enemies approach,” Yi Jing ordains!

Trust you, Monseigneur Ron, to say the RIGHT thing WRONG or ererrrrer...the WRONG thing RIGHT ! You're indeed one of the most intelligent anywhere and no-one will grudge you their sympathy-empathy whether they can see straight or not, but I can never understand (pardon the intrusion in your private life) WHY you don't live with your family and enjoy the rustic calm of the backwoods (your 19th Century immigrant family were/are farmers, you say) in the midst of moos and cackles and gobbledigooks (fresh milk and eggs and cheese) every morn ? Everybody will be glad - most of all your own kin-folk - even if strangers, as you say, are most kind.
Right now you are in sévčre trouble: your HEART-THROB - ROSALIA in a fresh video is mis-behaving with a tattooed-over fella, kissing him all over the place - even posing naked (backside-view) in the bed-room ! I know why. She's trying hard to let you know she won't stand for being neglected by you any longer; that's why she's flirting with her new suitor openly. His name RAUW ALEJANDRO. The way to win her back is to get yourself tattooed all over. including you know where. Hurry up! Best. TW

The world may be going to hell in a hand basket. But most of my friends and especially, strangers, have treated me well throughout life. It is only when belonging to organizations, like where one works, where conditions can come up that are untenable, but endured if one wants to get a reasonable pension and retire.

Ron
