The Hidden Law

The Hidden Law does not deny Our laws of probability, But takes the atom and the star And human beings as they are, And answers nothing when we lie. It is the only reason why No government can codify, And verbal definitions mar The Hidden Law. Its utter patience will not try To stop us if we want to die; If we escape it in a car, If we forget It in a bar, These are the ways we're punished by The Hidden Law.
