Oh, ponderous mind, ensnared in reason’s snare,  
Wherein we seek to meld the threads of thought,  
To draw forth from the loom of logic fair  
A tapestry where truth with wisdom’s wrought.  
Behold the premises upon this stage:  
The first doth claim if G’s light shines so bright,  
Then doth the absence of L cast but a shade—  
If L be not, then T stands firm in the night.  
Next, L's essence doth converse with R,  
A paradox where presence doth equate,  
For in the void of R, C must traverse  
‘Twixt shadows and the burdens of our fate.  
Moreover, J, the harbinger of bliss,  
To S or absence of N doth lead us near,  
A junction where our choices coalesce,  
And cast in the cosmos both hope and fear.  
Thus, we must conclude, with hearts unbound,  
That in the web of being lies our quest,  
To rise above all doubt and dark profound,  
And find the light in logic manifest.  
In truth, with grace, we sketch this grand design:  
'Tis but the art of reasoning divine.
