There was this post doing the rounds on Facebook, in which a man murders his wife in front of their daughter. The post goes on to claim that ‘Jesus’ was by the little girl’s side re-assuring her.  To the query, ‘Why doesn’t ‘Jesus’ prevent the murder from taking place?’ the reply was, “God does not interfere in man’s Free Will.”

Free Will!

Whose does prevail?

When in opposition

For whom, tips the scale?

 Does the ‘survival of the fittest’

To ‘Free Will’ too apply?

And if the ‘stronger’ desires the ‘weaker one’s’ death

Will the ‘weaker’, ‘have to’ die?

 Then how can it be called ‘Free Will’

For here there is no choice

Just imposition of another’s ‘Will’

On one with no or feeble voice!

 Am I then to understand,

To derive from this debate,

‘Free Will’ is to enable the stronger

To seal the weaker one’s fate?
