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
