Descartes’ Dilemma

Michael A. McGuire

I AM, therefore I think to continue
Being!   You have to Be before
you can use your mind for thought.

The other way around, it would be like
not having eyes but you'd still continue
seeing.

It's true that most have to think
pretty hard just to exist but who really
exists just to think?

Only philosophers and professors as
far as I know and most of them are teetering on insanity's brink!

So let's just say that WE ARE and
hopefully, we'll continue to BE! 

At least when we die, the confusion will 
be over because we'll finally know all the 
answers and our Soul will be free!

Of course that's another story!

    Thinking too much can certainly lead to inaction and sometimes confusion. A first impression may be best but thinking about it can save heartache. Ergo cogito sum good write

    Perhaps when I die I won't exist, thus noone to recieve any answers...
    A poetic examination of conciousness worth the effort, at least...
