The Number Game.

     Watch the new rhythms;
     Weigh them against the old ones.
     The numbers have grown as mere numbers
     In additions and multiplications.
     The keyboards display the keys
     With a variety of style and symmetry.
     The Deadly Sins have crossed
     The original Seven.
     If Moses had to revisit the humans,
     He would be asked to reset his numbers
     With Commandments new.
     The revised editions of the holy books
     Would,adding pages more,report
     The number of fresh wounds caused
     On God,mostly in His name.
     New incarnations come to bill
     As heroes of new found epics.
     New districts,new capitals,new websites
     And new control systems
     For the ever growing numbers in flesh and blood.
     Nature kills never known numbers in new designs.
     Man's extensive entries in playing the game of death
     Displays a competitive edge in number mania.
     Everywhere,new channels outnumber the old.
     New Gods,new shrines and new rituals;
     New parties,new flags and new leaders.
     New statues of Gods and leaders,old and new;
     As the numbers outnumber,
     Focus and direction flee as fugitives of the new era.
