Learn Basic Math
Learn Basic Math! Add, Subtract, Multiply, Divide Numbers
Be they Whole, Decimals or Integers
Let us also apply the 4 Operations
To numbers less than 1 whole we call Fractions
In number sets, there are LCD & LCM
Find the GCD & GCF of them
Get the Ratio, Proportion & Percentage
Master the Metric System like a great sage
In every civilization, numbers have meanings
Have something to do with life & happenings!

*GEN Poems
Numbers, abstractions and in other words
I prefer to teach math instead of English
Because fractions speak louder than verbs
God made the integers, all else is the work of man**
But Saint Augustine said
That you must have faith in order to understand
Numbers are abstraction you see
A symbol may be found on a chalkboard
They are not physical (they don't grow on a tree)
You only imbibe them intellectually
They run on into infinity
But you can catch them intuitively
So use the numbers
in daily life
Or before slumbers
They are something
you can count on
Reciting digits on your digits
[Sometimes] the countdown encumbers
Tyche and Plutus told
Heremes of
the Spirt of Ecstacy
and the beauty of the Carrage
they sought mortals might they too
be able to experince the beauty of
a perfect machine
all might pray but
only those who pray to
the right God shall win
said Tyche who then
turned to Plutus and asked
are the sheres of tommorrow
the sheres of now
to have Plutus say
% from a feild of 1 thru 69
1 from a feild of
1 thru 26
Factors of 69: The positive integers
that divide evenly into 69 are 1, 3, 23, and 69.
Factors of 26: The positive integers
that divide evenly into 26 are 1, 2, 13, and 26
Days before the Winter Soliste Festivals
the alignment of numberical sheres
shall warm the pockets of someone.
for a lottery win and financial relief,
followed by guidance on the general
approach to such prayers.

I think, AI can fool the surface eye,
the sun of everyday common day --
the night of charming only twinkle glitter
night --
But, what it can’t fool~ is, complex
soul spectrum; what it can’t step away
from is, its own deceitful presence –
the blight of laziness -- felonious poetic
fixes.
Technology has its place and purpose --
let it not be, to dope one's own creative sense
of Fair-play.
God, perhaps, considering an AI earth --
populated with robotic integers, squiggles
of AI digital worth. Both heaven and hell
could be a lot smaller – an entire civilization
on one memory stick. Don’t be a shallowly
composing programmed dick.
Zero to the thousandth power
logic on the run
Oblongata left in pieces
nothing zero-sum
Squaring the root unto itself
Euclid at the cliff
A equals B as B disappears
the quotient nondescript
Hickory Dickory’s mouse on the run
though nimble Jack gets burned
Formulas crumbling as integers balk
what’s ‘given’ mocked and spurned
Zero to the thousandth power
reason clones its fear
Classical thought—not selling or bought
Pythagorean tears
(36th & Chestnut Sts: September, 2023)
i was searching for survivors
in all the right places, finding none
my deepest wishes dissipating
probably for the best i always tell myself
watching it come apart
was half the pleasure
as well as half the pain
never needing a rhyme, nor a clue
and will leave none here
it is best these parts are played
upon non-existent fields
where the scores are left to the wind
turning in the snow, heel to toe
the season is leaving
soon the angels where we laid
will fill the gutters
from there to stream and river
flowing into a vast and nameless sea
in depths where light never graces
the seasons have no meaning
and time gives an illusion
of just another corner
one more step into yet another direction
prime numbers and infinity
seeking some perfection
in depths that only darken memory
the shadows within reality
where chemical reactions replace the light
the warm human touch
and deaden the senses
when the winds whisper a name
and the integers fill the day
no different than the insanity you bring
to a table set for one

A Soul’s Breathing Way
Alleluia —my soul reaches — while
Presently
My body keeps still — only in the motion
Of breathing —
Unable to walk — I lie here
Riding time — through visions
over land and seas
Wild —
Without maps or measures — as
Before humanity determined
Moons or integers —
Alleluia — my soul discerns
Serenely
The musical turning of light
Lulling me along
To unset shores —
This ride to physical recovery —
Waiting —- wafting —
Will bear neither boredom nor
impatience —
While wending
Ever gently
On breathing’s rythm —
Alleluia — my soul gladdens
In songs of surrounding angels —
And is ever conscious —
To stay always praising —
Yahweh —
Three in One
Blessing — promises of
Breath and healing
I hold —
Alleluia —- my soul longs to sing
With a faith known
Prior to its birth or Eden

The Guardians of the Light
David J Walker
What is it,
This thing that parts
The natural darkness
In the eternal night
The strike of potassium and
Phosphorous, igniting
The only light
The only bright thing ever known
In this unknown universe
Parting the darkness from the light
As if parting the land from the
Storms of oceans
As if parting fractions and integers
And the body forms of
Men and women
Creating a need to name the dawn and dusk
And the lusty fractious musk of
Attractions of opposites
In flight
A fearful world that swirls
Around as
As if a terrifying carnival ride
As we become the
Guardians of the light
Oh my math! Oh my math!
You are a head ache or clear cache,
I don’t understand you till I solve,
Is it a part of my problem solve?
Oh dear math! Oh dear math!
Please be simple, don’t be so tough,
You want me to practice, doing some rough?
It’s so hard, I want to give up!
Oh toughest math! Oh toughest math!
Whenever I solve algebra,
I never take it as easy to see zebra,
Whenever I solve integers,
I always think about strangers,
Whenever I solve linear equations,
There stands a line of questions!
Oh annoying math! Oh annoying math!
Whenever there is a doubt,
I tell my teacher to sort it out,
Always one answer on the tip of her tongue,
Practice, practice and practice ample,
You becoming a mathematician, will become simple!
Oh simple math! Oh simple math!
Solving maths is full of fun,
Maths is nowhere tough, no need of rough,
It’s never so hard to give up!
Put one, before, nine numbers of zero,
and take one off, have nine numbers of nine.
Grows a number ten times, zero, the hero.
Put one, before, nine numbers of zero.
Centre of integers, is the number zero,
to the left and right, may go endless, fine.
Put one, before nine numbers of zero
and take one off, have nine numbers of nine.

Zero and one make the computer byte.
Zero is the dark and one is bright.
That is what the cycle of day night,
Zero and one make the computer byte.
From the zero and one, gets its life,
on binary system, computer does thrive.
Zero and one make the computer byte.
Zero is the dark and one is bright.
1000000000-1 = 999999999
Natural numbers, big or small
Include no zero among them all
Including numbers 123
Excluding fractions, as you can see
Whole numbers are one step up
Add a zero, and add them up
To get a simple 0 1 2
There is almost nothing new
Integers now are number three
As negative as numbers can be
Like -1 , or -93
But spanning to infinity
Rational covers all before
Add decimals and you’re near the door
With fractions now, you’re almost done
8.3, 9 over 1
Real numbers are the final step
With any number you could think up
Excluding that which don’t exist
Now go away, I need my rest
Integers are whole numbers that can be positive.
In contrast, their values can also be negative.
On the x-axis, natural numbers are to the right of the zero.
On the vertical y-axis, they are above the zero as far as they can go.
You may think this question is moot:
With a negative number, how do you find its square root?
In a quadratic formula, if the discriminate is less than zero,
there are no real roots. So where do you go?
This put many early mathematicians in a quandary.
Somebody came along and invented numbers that are imaginary.
I hope this concept is familiar to you.
I’m sure you are acquainted with “absolute value”.
Points lie in the plane left of the y-axis.
Integers can have negative values because of this.
There’s nothing difficult here; it’s quite simple.
Rene Descartes introduced us to this principle.
In minus territory is where I find your value.
Why don’t you just abscond and bid adieu?
Mysterious, never ending
Is what we call infinity.
Mind-boggling, yet exciting;
A concept that disturbed serenity.
Considered a taboo,
Great minds it defeated.
Thinking it of divine understanding,
Even Galileo felt depleted.
Cantor argued its purpose,
Though that man's fate,
Sanity drained slowly,
Was decided by that sideways eight.
The integers and evens,
To name just two,
Are sets never ending.
Ever extending is the universe too.
No small idea,
And seemingly a paradox.
To consider this conundrum
Makes my head feel full of rocks.
