220 - Cogito ergo sum - some Frog ego

Cogito ergo sum - some Frog ego
Declared to the astonished bourgeoisie.
Descartes, not dumb, admonished long ago:
Beware! Abolish all your certainty.
Et tu, Brute? - then fell too brutally
Caesar; the emperor’s new toga bled.
Appeaser of the herd, Mark Antony
Forgot sic semper tyrannis; soon dead.
In vino veritas - glass of wine (red)
From Italy, from Chile, from Bordeaux.
A little makes me silly. Bored, ennui
Enables borderline things to be said.
Nil desperandum - random as things go,
Still stand the phantoms of our fantasy.
