1/2 And 1/2 Nots

Reading my poem 'Nobody and Somebody' Bri suggested that I write about 1/2 and 1/2 nots Of course he probably was kidding! But it inspired me to twist the numeric a bit. It has been the dream of mankind to Close the gap between the 1/2 and 1/2 nots To create a homogeneous society. Sadly this wholesome dream floats in a world of fake Having no real consequence at stake. Some say this world is also an illusion But not like that inner world of absurd cohesion. In dream world the 1/2 nots may be sitting in a palace, But here I find them sitting on footpaths Waging a bitter battle of want and agony, Aghast by onlooker's disdain and fate's irony. Many would consider them a burden. Some would sympathize to shed some tears But not enough to share their precious 1/2s. Very few would think of making the human life Whole by sharing their 'haves' with 'have nots'. Two negatives do create a positive in math. But in real world 1/2 nots may aspire to have An enchanting dream of wholeness with their counter half Or they just might cancel each other out To create an awful life of zero balance. And this I write without having Much of a math knowledge!
