It's dehumanizing
being treated like a number
a mere cog – a cipher
existence reduced to a measurement
“greatness” judged by our height
rather than how high we reach

I wonder
Am I excessively irrational?
In the prime of life
with infinite possibilities,
limited by only imagination, yet
confounded by the complexity of
an imperfect world

Desperately I yearn
for an world belonging
to those with the passion
to somehow make the numbers dance
An imaginary world where each is an individual
prime numbers divisible
only by themselves.
