Eke, Ergo

Eke out, O my living?
On what grounds do ye speak?
Based on our thanksgiving?
O turkey, through creek creak!

Wind atop the atoll low?
Steady, then first blow.
Ogre, ochre. Fast or slow?
Gold, give off thy glow...

Tyrant of the ocean deep;
Through dark chasm leap?
Horror, do ye find life cheap?
Challengers to creep...

Thought-light, gloss over the spark?
Fire, light up the dark?
Covenant? Communion,

Pecco Ergo Sum I sin therefore I am

Pecco, Ergo Sum
(I sin, therefore I am)


Not an aimless ride on Sunday morning,
But for a faith oblige I am tied to attend 
“Sinners!” the priest thunders from pulpit,
“Repent, for your flesh betrays the soul!”
Verses cascade from the book of the wise,
Urging forgiveness to claim a seat
In a kingdom beyond the grave’s cold embrace.
I turn to

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
So said Rene Descartes
It’s his first principle
Mankind realises
And is invincible

I

Cogito Ergo Sum I Buy I Exist

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 ! !

Vivo 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 fate

Work a job, raise a child
Life leads on, years are

Premium MemberCogito Ergo Sum

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, like unfettered feather inter-twined;
Is Rene Descartes – French, who’d taught

Cogitatis, Ergo Estis

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?

Cogito Ergo Sum Libero

“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...
