E = MC2

What was our trust, we trust not,
   What was our faith, we doubt;
Whether we must or not
   We may debate about.
The soul, perhaps, is a gust of gas
   And wrong is a form of right—
But we know that Energy equals Mass
   By the Square of the Speed of Light.

What we have known, we know not,
   What we have proved, abjure.
Life is a tangled bowknot,
   But one thing still is sure.
Come, little lad; come, little lass,
   Your docile creed recite:
“We know that Energy equals Mass
   By the Square of the Speed of Light.”
