Joseph May Poet Rhyme

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?
