Cogito ergo sum: I LIE therefore I AM
Even if I lie Nothing’s more certain than Death
Not Birth Not Life Nor this Multi-Verse logjam

Villanelle: The Dilemma of the Non-Violent – 64
Cogito ergo sum: I LIE therefore I AM
Even if I lie Nothing’s more certain than Death
Not Birth Not Life Nor this Multi-Verse logjam
Does not violence invoke much pain loss all damn
Intended or not openly or in lethal stealth
Cogito ergo sum: I LIE therefore I AM
Is not violence the excess worlds condemn
And which by default attains the body’s health
Not Birth Not Life Nor this Multi-Verse logjam
Any movement in any direction breaks dam
Can Qian rape Kun to make for eternal Death
Cogito ergo sum: I LIE therefore I AM
Is Death the Tao of non-action in I AM
No change without movement antithetic Death
Not Birth Not Life Nor this Multi-Verse logjam
Can the human mind find stillness in space maelstrom
Wish for NOTHING wholly want but Ultimate Death
Cogito ergo sum: I LIE therefore I AM
Not Birth Not Life Nor this Multi-Verse logjam
Monseigneur Don Ron, what happens then when the body is cremated or eaten up by vultures? Does the LIE persist in the I AM? Or is the BIG LIE the Multi-Verse(s) or HE who created the BIGGEST LIE of ALL??? Admit it, WE all lie to ourselves to make believe we do not see the PIE ("pie" in French is "magpie" who cannot hear his own lies) in the SKY.
Don't forget it's the populace who put the leaders in the top places to perpetuate lies. Who then is the BIGGEST LIAR of ALL ? Just take one guess, and you'll be a right proper "liar", too!!!
END of the Dilemma with N° 64. See, I didn't lie. I told you so from the very beginning. Every good wish. Wignesan
All of the lies, lie with us in our grave. Rest in pieces.
Some folks like our past president are only comfortable when surrounded by The Big Lie. Unfortunately when they have leadership positions, it can be very dangerous.
