Analysis of Verum Tamen—Verum Est
The Self, Free Will, and Love…
today’s three illusions of life
Without just one our lives negate,
a charlatan’s delight
For the Self to Love most Freely,
this Holy Trinity must preside
What Plato ordained and Kant reframed
—modern thought tries most to hide
(Villanova Pennsylvania: April, 2019)
