Oh, Law Sakes

In the laws of nature, there can be
No justice, no mercy, and only
Since in those laws there’s no existence.

In a sense, there can be nothing much
More oxymoronic than the phrase
The laws of nature, given ideas

Of laws are only natural if
You grant all the most quintessential
Human productions as natural,

And you probably don’t. Patterns, sure.
Highly rhythmic, regular patterns,
Reliable, predictable, sure.

But what a daydream to call them laws
And, like most daydreams, how dangerous
If fulfilled. Laws, by nature, are bent,

Broken, rewritten, tossed, and plain cruel.
Oh no, but not the laws of nature!
They don’t yield! They’re not laws if they don’t.
