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 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?...

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....

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 ! !...

Cogito, ergo sum
      His thoughts are a-bloom

    He thinks, therefore he is
      He feels his brain a-whizzz... 

    Yet an attitude of gratitude
      is no mere platitude

    A simple 'thank-you' is never for naught
      ~ and that is today's food for thought...

“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...

'Poetry' pinged me
  I shiver and cringe
I know what she wants
  With her probing syringe

To prod me with metaphor
  Simile and eloquent imagery
Line, foot, iambic pentameter
  Assonance, consonance
               trochaic hexameter

But I'll have none of it
  Cogito, ergo sum!
Here a bit of free verse
  There a dash of rhyme
    ~ May 'Poetry' fume...

Rene Descartes said “Cogito ergo sum”
“I think therefor I am”.
Consciousness of being is true regardless our reality, be it
corporeal, digital or mechanical.
We may live in a computer simulation, or made out of steel, but “Cogito ergo sum”
What is real?
Does it even matter?
“I think therefor I am”.
We, therefore, create our own realities, regardless of our state of being!
Intelligence regardless!...

Rene Descartes popularized
The phrase: Cogito ergo sum-
I think therefore I am. How wise!
If I’m thinking, then it’s presumed
That I exist because of “I”

On this point we see eye to eye;
Even so, it begs questioning
Beyond my very existence;
That is, the question: who am I?
A query asked with persistence.
What does “buried beneath” imply?
Does it mean “core sense” of myself
Or an illusion of one’s self?...

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