I'm conscious of being conscious
Is my cat as well 😼
But language less, she can't express
So simply cannot tell

Or has my cat no thoughts like that
No language to create
So from her chair with vacant  stare
To herself cannot relate 🐈

Of course, of course the talking horse
Mr Ed, he could discourse
But no such chat from my old cat
No language as a source

No words, no thoughts, no consciousness
No self reflection on the beach
If language architects the soul
Is AI consciousness in reach 😉
