I Think Therefore I Am
do I think
or am I just a parrot
barking back ideas
someone spoke in my ear
Science hears what,
Philosophy why
The deafest of twins
—singing in the same choir
(Villanova Pennsylvania: April, 2019)
Human insistancy fuelled by myriad inconsistancys
Unreason of ages' result much hate and destruction
Through innumerable fervid and insane stages.'
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 ! !
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?
“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...

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 never sensed
the never been
meaningless
irrelevant
inexistent
some deny
some believe
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 think, therefore I am
Basics of existence
This is fundamental
But a French perspective
He was continental
