Universal Poem by shimon weinroth

Universal



I think therefore I am,
a cliche profound as it is,
we let TV and the internet do

Pre Socratic Paramenides proclaimed
being is thinking,
and since we are egalitarian,

thinking now encompasses
the whole human race
even doubtfuls,

in our spirit of generosity, even domestic animals
mammals, pisces and aves
demonstrate memory,

memorizing belongs to the world of thinkng
putting on my cap, I ask as follows, perhaps plants
bacteria and virii, fall under the umbrella

Plato a table is not a table,
but the concept of an idea,
Aristotle scoffed,

lo and behold physicists
say Plato's Table, in time could disintegrate
lose the form and shape,
molecules would divorce

given, all things equal,
how now brown cow,
when guzzling booze and blue cheese
jumped over the moon
