cut up into pieces,\
split the halves into two\
that's quarters, or fourths,\
whichever you like to do

numerator, at the top,\
tells how many you have got\
cupcakes, pies, or bicycles,\
maybe planes or big big yachts

denominator, down the bottom,\
divvying up the parts\
now you know division,\
they call you doctor smarts 
+++
I sit here watching you across the way\
Hoping you make it through another day\
Here I'm guessing, postulating your lives\
while I wait to hear from he who survives\
With a fleeting attention I regret\
For your plight I too easily forget

You must feel trivialized by my fear\
I'm not the one at the end of the spear\
I'll swear I oppose how you're maligned\
By those weapons I all but co-signed\
Keeping you a victim to their attacks\
Assaulted with the mercy of wolf packs
