Cogito Ergo Sum

Cogito Ergo Sum

Epiphanic convolutions

devoid of solutions

grip my soul

with a scurrilous embrace

in a life-death struggle

of co-dependency

my tribulations

continue the march

forward / backward

cloaked in a dark veil

for i just can not let go

of that which i have been fed

whether it be Christian Sciences

or other compliances

or indoctrinated propaganda

matters not much these days

for the relevance to all

that i think i know

exceeds not this empirical containment

we have labeled such misnomers

with pretty little collections

of letters

as we attach semi-cosigned

significance and values

for a determined outcome

that can project

and chart the movement

of the people

and thus the Souls

Faith, Trust, Belief

are quantified

with intangibles

and an etheric fabric

called the unseen

my soul does in fact

recognize its self

in this wisping curtain

of abysmal nothingness

or it created

such a reflection

for we do vie

for valuation

at some point

don’t we

but in the nearby end

of things

our champion of spiritual indifference

remains but a few unresolved

age old questions

such as . . .

why

and

what if

and hearing not any

verifiable retorts

we resort

to impersonal validations

for “Self” begs for reflection

that errs not

through time

and through the dark, the light

the dawning, the night

we are left

with but one possible truth

which Descartes’

so aptly coined

and that simply is

“Cogito Ergo Sum” . .

i think therefore i am . . .
