With the Academy Awards now over the world must focus on the bad actors
With so many hot spots around the world, and so many threats out there we have to factor
We can no longer keep up with all the people who want to bring us harm
Our very way of life is in jeopardy, time to sound the alarm
Anger with us from so many fractions, what can we do to change this theme
We need to make this nightmare into a pleasant dream
To conquer evil all the law-abiding nations must band together
We must end these countries' pursuit of terror
Fighting back with all our power and strength must be understood
They only want one thing and that is to eliminate us for good
If this sounds familiar you need to look no further than the world wars
Let's all stand up to all the bad actors worldwide
Peace and freedom throughout our nations, we must do all we can to keep it alive

I always think
of myself and my life
as being divided into
fractions of a whole
Sometimes people told me
I resemble my mother
while some others
say I resemble my father
while the remainder believe
I am a mixed fraction of them both
I really cannot comprehend which is which
One day I had spotted
an image of my mother
on a photograph taken from her youth
I scanned it carefully and took note
she shared many similarities to myself
in tastes of
wardrobe
facial expressions
hairstyle
and even frames of glasses
I may have resembled a fraction
of my father
as a young child
while I may resemble a fraction
of my mother
as I mature into adulthood

Fractured
What are we to make of five over three improperly?
Ah, convert to one plus two over three, properly.
Yes, but what now of one plus two over three?
‘Tis a most proper one over three of five you see.

As they slowly divide into fractions they crumble
Trying not to fall there's a chance you may stumble
As the Earth shakes & rumbles
I'm just trying to stay humble
Never forgetting my fumbles
Not believing their fables
Cutting the ties and turning the tables
Deflecting the lies
Find the truth through my eyes

Fractions have two numbers
First the numerator
Fret not it goes on top

Sore on your cheek
Holding you to smile
That hand's mark on your face yet vanish
Perhaps dwell within your heart
You challenge the love
But it eats you in whole
Your mind plays trick
But your heart wouldn't lie
Your lips may tell me some scam,
But your eyes look deep into my soul
Don't you dare to deny for this time
That fall for me isn't a crime
The wall of our boundaries has broke into pieces
Don't you dare to hide behind those fractions
Pretend for something that you're dying not to admit
You challenge your love, but I challenge you to love

as unaware, as i grab for a limb and these are new steps
beveled egdes a quarter off the half mark
rusg, rush, come on hurry, cooler lines be me in blue true
and if u see my steps, she couldnt have timed me if she tried too
moving at a knot i conquer ground, and that apex, as i say,
i assure you that she still mliles away
i slip in the deepest thoughts, as i say it should pay to break shells,
but back then seashells were a staple, i fasten theses words to the path in tyhe woods , its red tagged, well its nice , that means im tag out
swing sets, high prices , cheap for the rich man, my sentiments my reminder
my demionsions completely different then yours, my ideas be a big as wreck
female be the oppisite end, i am off my mark now,. dead on zone, reddots boy they are accurate, jacked one in , rthe metal be a sweet spot for flaws to hide

Chalk talks and board meetings,
round the clock work never done.
That 9 to 5 waltz by the numbers
just like a barrel of a loaded gun.
A quarter glass of milk on the run.
Trips to Las Vegas meant everything
and nothing at the same exact time.
Who was she to rule the world ornately?
was the loneliness worth every dime?
A half cup of tea--a third of a lime.
That new briefcase holds her trickery,
the device which hefts people's souls.
What souls? the ones without aspirations
and moral depredations, she controls.
A three quarter bagel as she strolls.
The day ends as they would exclaim,
"Always be closing!" never once discrete.
Everything in order except her thoughts,
business first like unmovable concrete.
A full days work placed at her feet,
the only part of her life--compl...

I started off running from my fears,
Hoping they would stay in the past and reclusive;
But the biggest fear of all is staring me straight in the face-
And her eyes melt me down to nothing.
That feeling in my stomach- the one that makes you weak but no less wiser,
It's all I have left to hold on to.
The colour that surrounds her is quite simply mystifying-
An ingenious indigo that beautifies such a fatal afterglow.
Time stands still as she walks on by-
The silence is so much that you can hear her heart beating consistently.
There are no words, there are no actions,
Between me and her, there are only fractions-
But it's enough to feel her slipping away from me,
It's enough to feel alone again...
