Do not want to start a war with north and south

Do not want to just have a really big mouth

It took some math to build the cotton combine

And to the elder era it should have been define

The means of production determine labor

Someone having to slave is not to savor

Every has to right to a decent job

My calculus and statistics are not just to snob

We can get this era rendered

Into Providence it is surrendered

Math is another tool

Should not use you like a fool

Equations in physics

Formulas in chemistry

All can be brought together

To stand against the hostile weather

I guess i can have it all

by using mathematics to forestall

Building a better calculator machine

Math should support a state of being

Capitalism redefined

So man not trapped by another combine

The place in which math sleeps

Is asserting that the poor never make "quantum leaps"

If i can dig poetry and math out of this

A poorer man is not doomed to miss

I may think i am smart and clever

But to reach the Sun, i can not lever
