COGITO ERGO SUM

COGITO ERGO SUM

I think, therefore I am
Cogito Ergo Sum
As in Latin it’s said
But I’m not a linguist
My headache feels like lead

I think, therefore I am
And my brain tells me so
Am I defined by thought
My neurons are firing
But may still come to naught

I think, therefore I am

It’s his first principle
Mankind realises
And is invincible

I think, therefore I am
Basics of existence
This is fundamental
But a French perspective
He was continental
