Drill: Penetrating Sense or Nonsense?

On one sunny Saturday
These words came to me,
Which may well be baloney
Or could be true—you decide:

That as there is
No solution to
All the suffering
There is no problem.

But how can this be?
The argument goes
That problems imply
Solutions,

And furthermore,
Solutions suggest problems
But if there is no solution
Then there can be no problem.

The Four Noble Truths
Is a paradox
That cannot be solved
And hence points to a non-solution;

It is as if
We are solutions
Seeking problems,
But these are not separate things,

Thus to see the complete
Is all that’s needed,
And then
Craving can be conquered.

“Huh?” You ask, “But how?”
By satisfaction, naturally,
Which only requires
The decision to be satisfied,
Abandoning this futile non-problem-solving drive.
