I mortal! I live,
I labour, I feel, I err -
I love and am loved!

Before Rene Descartes does this world depart 
he gives analytic geometry its big head start 
from bugs that draw graphs crawling on his ceiling; 
as he lies sprawling, sick in bed, reeling....

Rene Descartes said
  I think, therefore I am

Yet might you not say
  I am, therefore I think

Which comes first
  The think or the am
  The am or the think

Weigh this long enough
  It may drive you to drink!...

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  think thus i am
is taught in school as if true
rene descartes thought

not based on premise
nor science of rationale
just ego feeling

of mind being clear
that what came to fore is truth
in reality

How precious to me are your thoughts, O God!
        How vast is the sum of them! (Psalm 139:17)

“I think, therefore I am...”  Rene Descartes

a creative potential,

I hope this concept is familiar to you.
I’m sure you are acquainted with “absolute value”.
Points lie in the plane left of the y-axis.
Integers can have negative values because of this.
There’s nothing difficult here; it’s quite simple.
Rene Descartes introduced us to this principle.
In minus territory is where I find your value.
Why don’t you just abscond and bid adieu?

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”
The one doing the thinking.
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
