True Beauty, Indeed, To The Number-Theorists
True beauty, indeed (to the number-theorists),
reveals the distribution of the primes.
Beauty, too, is courage, the defiant fists

Because conclusive evidence they don’t bring
Contradictory evidence is explained away
It was planted by the conspirators they
