Not in themselves (the math is right, of course)
But in their will to power. Asking why
The cold equation rules -- is it by force? --
Reveals, or can reveal, a deep design
That someone's interest calculates and sets
To make the cold equation seem a sign
Of universal meaning. But who lets
The cold equation go on being cold?
If we all know the cold equation's flaws
Who benefits from our failing to fold
Our own protections round its jagged laws?
The cold equations are still true, still cool
But people chose to let equations rule.
