Does not Death commit unjust ultimate crimes
Who returns from the au-dela knows true nought
To what extent violent thoughts can be crimes
The Real in the Apparent see you rhymes

Villanelle: The Dilemma of the Non-Violent – 20

To what extent violent thoughts can be crimes
Is there one person who’s not guilty by thought
The Real in the Apparent see you rhymes

With what reason Raskolnikov murder rhymes
Does Nietsche see in him the greatness of thought
To what extent violent thoughts can be crimes

Can the rogue State justify wanton war crimes
Nor the Police non-citizen rights stamp out
The Real in the Apparent see you rhymes

Who tolls the church bells controls also the chimes
He who can think must also control the thought
To what extent violent thoughts can be crimes

Wanton acts of violence breed in all climes
Kubla Khan repeats the way Ghengis Khan fought
The Real in the Apparent see you rhymes

Does not Death commit unjust ultimate crimes
Who returns from the au-dela knows true nought
To what extent violent thoughts can be crimes
The Real in the Apparent see you rhymes

Good Lord! Senor Don Ron!!! Are there more than TWO of the same YOU???

Witness: 'I can't recall having any violent thoughts...'
'Do I have violent thoughts, yes.'

Sir, if there are any more violent or non-violent thinking or non-thinking Don Rons, I - and the Guinness Book of Records - would certainly like to know. Please acknowledge, appose whichever or all the separate individual signatures, and return by recorded delivery.

Right now, I feel like an international goal-keeper confronted by two or three balls in a penalty shoot-out, all at one and the same kick-out. Yours poorly, Wignesan

I can't recall having any violent thoughts, but last night in a dream, I dreamed of men, and women, in a dystopian small community where having a gun and bullets to fire from the gun became all important to warding off those who did not have guns or resources to survive and needed to turn the tables on whoever had the gun at that time… Over and over again. Kind of like our wars that keep coming back over the same issue, time and time again, but never solved.

Do I have violent thoughts, yes. But I never would carry them out. But it appears that some people are so driven by their insecurity, that they do.

Ron
