Poem Artwork

   

 

 Does the moon ask the sun

‘Who am I?’

Or the tree refer to the bee

‘Why, I am who?’

 

Does the cat chased by the dog

Mew, who are you?

Or the mouse ask the cat

Before the crunch

‘Why am I lunch?’

 

Why do I ask who am I

When there’s a life to live

Nothings (k)new under the sun

Cogito ergo sum?

I wrote a poem from a quote that said "Do not judge me for what I am today for I shall be different tomorrow." I truly believe this quote. We change from day to day as we live our lives. Very nicely done.

We know who the enemy is. Pogo told us. But just doing without thinking about it can be dangerous as well. What famous person said, "Whoops, I didn't think that would happen!"… after the fact.

I have been having memory problems and it sounds as if you are too...who are you again and why the hell am I talking to you...? -e-

Ah-ha!!!...You may not have to ask who you are yourself, but being on the internet, you'll need to know who the other person is before you make friends with the other person.

"Who am I" isn't necessary to ask ourselves because we know who we are.
"Who are you?" is necessary a question to ask the other.

Nice image of the "Thinker"!
