Nature can be expressed in terms of math;
'Tis full of quantities and relations
Bounded by the laws of interactions.
Endpoint implies our dream; segment, our path.
There are as many symbols that replace
As there are things in this wonderful place.
A plus signifies accumulation
Of things we desire and of friends we need,
Constancy of amount of which will lead
To a process called multiplication.
A plus is the most legal for the mind
'Cause it never keeps anything behind.
But everything has to undergo change;
We're bound by this law of the universe
That we can see something and its reverse;
Just as a domain produces its range,
One's gaining results another's losing.
Hating this we'll find us violating.
Nature is as compliant as we are;
We have a minus which means subtraction
Of something from our accumulation,
Like seeing true friends going home afar;
For memory 'tis the most illegal --
Putting this sign between minds is lethal.
