Self stopped

"Cogito ergo sum", or "I Think therefore I am", a famous quote, borrowed for the purpose of reinterpretation and self assessment.

It is a fool
Who recognizes
Enlightenment.

But doggedly steadfastly
Refuses it for herself.

A.
Sad.
Little.
Self stopped fool.

Living her
Crumbly half life.

I think.
Therefore  I am?

Too easy.
Mucho glibness methinks.

It's rather...

I think.
Therefore I must act.

And Become.
What I am.

Grrr...
Free will applies.

The merry mind
Maketh belief.

But can't believe
Its lies.
