Analysis of Ten Commands Men
The decimal system was selected
to prevail over all others, that might
have been as good, and strongly directed.
People throughout the world counting alright.
But - despite similar numbers - the fight
still does go on over values and fate;
these divide, and fill the minds with blind hate,
because things are seen in different ways.
We all claim truth, even outside its state;
thus blocking progression to better days.
