Cognito Ergo Sum
(Labermaier/Frees)

(A) long time ago, I heard a phrase,
I thought it was a scam.
The other night, I had a dream,
I think, therefore I am.

What exactly does it mean?
Or is it just a hoax?
Am I man or a machine
or the image it evokes?

No matter how I try to hide,
the question will persist.
Am I just a phantom,
or do I now exist?

I know that I think so,
I know that I am.
Cogito Ergo Sum

I thought I would discover
something new about myself.
But, all I ended up with
was a loss of mental health.

I wondered where my mind had gone,
I wasn’t feeling smart.
The point I learned that I was drawn,
entrée ala Descartes.

I know that I think so,
I know that I am.
Cogito Ergo Sum

I know that I think so,
I know that I am.
Cogito Ergo Sum

I’m glad that I think,
And, I’m glad that I can.
Cogito Ergo Sum
