SMAD. An Organ of Student Opinion. 1935. Volume 6. Number 10.

Logic

Logic.

With an Apology to T.A.H.

If I must die because I'm man.

And all men mortal are,

I argue from a general law

To an individual case.

If Satan loves, since all souls love,

What case would this be called?

A common case, because all love

Is first found in the soul.

Ah, Satan loves me who must die

Because I mortal am:

Does this mean Satan's love must die

When I, the mortal, die

But after death they say that man

Wears immortality;

And does this mean that mortal man

Can be immortal when

He's had enough of mortal flesh

And seeks immortal spheres

This merely means that he who thinks

His reasoning is sound.

Is merely mortal man, and that

His mortal works must die.
