Equations

The world is an unsolved equation A square root of the haves and have nots A division of wealth by exploitation Where injustice is the common denominator A subtraction of our moral compass Means the equation may never be solved Our calculations remain at an impasse As the equation dangles without resolve When greed is added to the mix The problem becomes harder to fix Multiply the hate factor thereof But can this equation be solved without love? ---- 3/5/16

Without love, I don't see how. No matter how you sum it up, this was masterfully penned.
