Best Ergo Poems

What if the great Rene Descartes,
Renaissance man of many parts.
for all his fame and coruscation
is nothing but a fine creation
of my own imagination?

Philosophically disabused.
I think therefore I am

confused....

The first part is, you knock the skittles down, 
the second is, you set them up again: 
Suzuki, Siemens, Berlusconi, Braun - 
they're indestructible, these little men! 

We dole out dollars to the bums we beat, 
extend a hand to lift them from the floor....

I think i am here for now until it's all done and my earthly tasks are completed. 
Will they speak the same words spoken of life with tear marks glistening and crystallized on the cheeks of the visitors. 
Will the guests guess what was in...

Sum 

the nihil
beyond cognition

the mirror
of every atom

the daylight star
behind the black night sky

nothing escapes
no hand may reach
no eye ever notice
no mind would comprehend

not to be found
by those who seek

heard will be those
who do not speak

only the deaf
will smell a sound

not of this world
the unheard
the unseen
the...

I wonder...

if that known
were but a dream
and that unknown
were real,
do I exist?

or...

if that known
does not exist
and that unknown
ceases existence
upon becoming known,
can I exist?...

If a light  thinker,  I am superficial...
If ponderous,  I am the elephant
in the room, unwanted and unloved.
If I think at all,  I am minority,
wandering from problem to conclusion—
again..again 
bringing forth curious glances
from everyone who likes one's own conclusions
undisturbed, set in place,
like...

The account of Descartes was redoubtable:
“I exist, since this thought is undoubtable.”
   Mister Hume peered inside,
   Said, “I see naught besides
Just my thoughts, so your logic is floutable.”...

I scribble because I exist
I exist because I write
I survive in my yearnings...

I'm not notable reader of the rich Latin language,
That treasures within its realm mountainous barns of knowledge…
Thoughts and philosophies, like symphony, around-the-clock,
To this ocean, like sea animals, for full refuge, flock...

Of all, like sediments, one who has settled in my mind,
And floats to the surface,...

“Destiny” implies
a controlling external force - 
the random positioning of planets in solar orbit,
or the mysterious machinations of a spurious spirit in the sky - 
both impressively improbable and laughably unlikely.
Occam’s razor slashes!
And free will is the last rational refuge standing...

I have my fears
I have my brakes
but without much thinking
I buy myself many things.
I accumulate many .debts...
Out of fear I tell myself some things
to rationalize and apologize...
I buy, I consume...
Soon I exist...!
 Cogito ergo sum ! !...

Slap to start, gasp your first
Hope for best, fear the worst

Lungs inflate, blood runs hot
Limbs lash out, suckling sought

Crawl and stand, toddle then run
Thinking thoughts, just begun

Brain brights up, play and school
Seem so smart, then a fool

Look for love, meet and mate
Fortune shines, find your...

     There is no I in me......

We Think Therefore We are

Does it matter anymore?
I believed being born and living was something special.
I was wrong…..
Is this what my whole existence is going to be like?

To grow old,
Doing nothing important…..
…..until I am dead.

Is that all there is?...

swift bird of prey soars

moment of truth elusive—

true nature concealed
