Numbers and their power over us all.

Cold hard numbers
calm in their stability
they are what they are
their value and intent
cannot be subjective

Digital languages
just the facts
encompassing
invading
defining your worth

Feel your blood rush
to your lungs
as the numbers
dissipate

feel your blood
rush to your heart
as they increase
dictating
fortune telling

They mix in your blood
in your heart and in your lungs
the numbers never lie
but many lies
they inspire

Many hearts
are broken
many mouths
denied

Cold and hard they stand
they started
as fingers
on our hands
