Radical faction

Andrew W. Davis

I once belonged to a radical faction,

Doing math and rejecting the fraction.

We thought numerators should numerate,

And denominators should accept their fate.

Denominators, dead-weight, would die out,

Numerators are what a fraction is about.

We marched for one number, one not below but above,

Numerators, the number all men could love.
