The Complex Math of Living

The Complex Math of Living By Franklin Price 4/3/2015 The complex math of living In this 21st Century Is all about the numbers Don't add up for you and me Billions of people live on earth Trillions of dollars spent To cost a million of either Would not even make a dent Such thinking is the danger To see just what I say Look around the equal sign Does not add up today Nor do the powers want it to For millions count as one It's not too much to buy them With trillions it is fun Subtract the cost of purchasing A people or a place Divide and power conquers Much of the human race People multiply like rabbits Power needs so few of them Attract a small percentage Find the ones whose wits are dim Make promises that can't be kept To add more to the crowd Truth lost in presentation When the words said very loud Convince them all to work as one To follow formulae Put the blinders on them They will follow 'til they die If you are of the masses Check the math of what I said Don't follow power blindly Don't support them 'til you're dead
