Numbers
The power of numbers,
To numb,
Take away the element of heart,
An art,
Of the intellect.
Disilluminated lens,
Reality on paper,
Where light and dark,
Merely create amounts,
To be pushed and pulled,
Like pieces of eight,
Ravaging the truth,
Blotting out the sun,
Because it's there,
And we care,
Represent and lament,
No more,
Symbols and signs,
Do not bleed
Do not whine,
They just multiply,
Or divide.
