Directly proportional
My friends, and my dreams, and My hope, and my drive, and My rest, and my age, and My will, and my love, And my life, and me - Equals 0.

Reverse It
A cricket watched from the windowsill, quiet, still, as the scientist adjusted the telescope again and again. Looking through the lens, there was a mess of a star One that seemed fuzzy and incoherent. The scientist sighed, “I can’t tell where it ends!” And after hours of trying, he stepped away. He gave up looking. When the formula was there all along. The answer was ratio. The answer was patience. The answer was focus. He left before learning that proximity doesn’t mean blur. It meant resolution is possible with the right lens. But he never paused long enough for the air to still, for the optics to align, for the sky to stop shimmering. He just saw confusion where clarity was only one calculation away. When the room fell silent, the cricket crept onto the scientist’s desk. Small as a semicolon but bold as truth. It chirped once and left behind a slip of paper. On it, the formula. A quiet reminder that closeness is not confusion. It is just a matter of resolution. Dawes’ Limit. R = 4.56 / D Defining the smallest details visible under ideal conditions. The closest two stars can clearly be seen together In the night sky.

Before the Formula
In the shadowed halls where whispers linger,   politics dances with the syndrome of corruption,   a waltz of power,   where drugs and money are the tune,   each ear a prisoner to the siren call.   Promises paper thin,   like smoke curling in the air,   they fade before the light of dawn,   leaving only the residue of ambition,   the stains of greed untouched by conscience.   Votes exchanged like currency,   fingers stained with the ink of betrayal,   as the puppets pull their strings in secret rooms,   where the air is thick with unspoken truths,   and the price of a soul is just a ticket.   They clad their rhetoric in silk and gold,   their speeches wrapped in veneer,   but behind closed doors,   the language is raw,   a formula of corruption carved in blood.   What is justice but a game to them,   a pawn moved on the board of exploitation,   while the hungry cry, the weak tremble,   and the powerful smile,   counting their spoils with gluttonous glee.   But beneath the surface,   the tide bends,   rebellion stirs with a hunger for change,   as truth, like a seed buried deep,   begins to rise.   The poison they feed us might spread,   but the antidote is resilience,   the call of unity against the echo of greed—   a movement forged in the fires of hope,   where drugs and money will no longer bind us,   and power will answer to the people.

The Formula of Corruption
A private memory shared with one close closed bubble within my bubble, on a San Diego winter day, it came to pass cacophony's child, noise, beginner guitar and vocal solo loud as lungs allow, making dischords and missed beats feel like, demons sc'reaching into fretful, jobless Dad's brain Stop, please! Tic, that was it- the point-end track switch… he was cut to the core, a full on ogre as father wound, through the heart in tears of rage, he said, I was worshipping… said the child, and he had been adding worth, with his whole little fist sized heart, Dad had been working, in service of some other god, slowly going mad.

Move big start small the golden ratio is always 1.618 something is never 2. But gives the formula to design flawlessly on the go from micro to macro level all the way to the true north!

formula for disaster
Gasping for air like fish on land Feel my heart's pace quicken Desperate to escape mocking reality I savor these drugs kick in To fly a distance from here is my aim Run far so I can start over I am too close to unhealthy triggers I'm losing ambition, why should I get sober? It is not love I'm seeking out Looking for internal happiness Do not ask me why I'm always blue Then tell me I must be depressed I want to be normal, been so long Need to defeat my addiction Can't find the strength that used to reside Just can't let go of this affliction Desire the drive to be better My mind stuck in a deep rut Must be missing part of the formula Just can't figure out what

Missing An Essential Component To The Formula
To be in McLaren MTC, That really would be cool, I hope this competition's real, Not an early April fool. A dedicated petrol head, Who's driven an F1 car, A Benetton in Spain last year, Not a Prost, or Jaguar, Would love to see the inside track, See inside a first class team, To sit and sip the atmosphere, Would fulfil a long held dream To be sat there in race control, Just as the race is run, Aside from being a privilege, Would really be such fun. So in picking out a winner, It's very clear to see, You need to look no further, The one to pick is me !

Competition winning poem
Gravitational forces towards something better as if it exists buried beneath some distant desert what is it that strains to convey itself in this broken poetry as if truth were at the tip of its tongue perhaps it's to feel real for only a moment to escape the routine of making a living which only yields a skeleton compacted in dirt Take my writing let it fly upon the wind let it touch the four corners of Earth's spiritless surface Take it farther! upon the wings of doves and sound waves of conversation to red and gaseous planets let even the martian men attempt to translate

Cobblestone, Your eyes candlelit, blazing I've lit a fire for you Oh the fumbling of hands we share, here The fumbling of elements many have felt And I wonder if I am any different-- A trundled body of mistaken chemicals Brash, raw-- Nevertheless I wish to learn the angles To love -- c

Formulaic – Response to Angel Olsen’s “California”
A gorgeous formula for force is: F=dp/dt or F=d(m.v)/dt By employing mass into velocity. This formula uses the momentum To elucidate the force involved And to deduce the frontage Of any effect developed

Force
My philosophy professor posed a question:
 Mary, an expert in color—
 The way light bends through rods and cones and the use of electromagnetic radiation—
 Is blind to it, unable to even imagine the beauty
 Of your sea foam eyes,
 Rose petal lips. 
 Does she, knowing every fact, every formula, 
Truly know color? 
It got me thinking, 
(I guess that’s the purpose of philosophy) 
Did I really love you?

I used to be colorblind.
I sit in math class thinking why y=mx+b I start thinking about life and how I could put it into this problem y would be you mx would be your and my ex and the +b would stand for me y stands for you because when I decided to take you on I knew it was gonna be me plus our ex and I thought it could work mx is our ex's because they both just team up together to try to ruin the happiness we built and so they are multiplied together because they're a team. the +b has to stand for me because I'm in this situation too and I stand alone in it. He wants me but he could go back to his ex. I'm so confused why he can't just cancel out the mx and just keep b. Is just the 1 of me not good enough for all of him?

Love Function
Is it a coincidence? I think not. It's not just one of those serendipitous happenings where both times we meet are budding from me ******* up. I may be staring intently at something that isn't there but I believe it's a sign just as much as the one you always ignored at the intersection. Me ******* up equals me seeing you. It's not a perfect formula but I'm still working out the kinks God, you know how I love math I'm probably just grasping at something and anything that means I can be with you for just one more instant I know you see what I'm doing here And I thank you for playing along Do whatever you will Just don't correct me when I'm wrong I'm trying to **** up

Coincidence Much?
They were once meaningless I write and in one, two and three The transgression made its way to you They became lyrics, My hymn towards you. Eradicating you made me at ease Til lines intersect There was no division The strategy became a multiplication Where the factors were lost as digits There’re no emotions at all. We were destined To know the factors To solve the x and y Then, sections were subdivided. I was in y, you were in x As if we’re in supplementary angles Why’re we apart? Can two junctions be aligned? The triangle was secluded With the main angle, The base, the height The hypothenuse uploaded the main formula. Never will I resolve this For formula was never been taught As if I’m doing such trials and errors Til I get tired And be drowned by head and heartaches. The compass would never shape you The ellipse would not offer you mass There were no vectors at all, Now, its just the dot The single one which may point me Towards the possible focus of such lines.

Lover Solving
The path made of me.. The soul within that becomes the energy engine that drives this beautiful soul filled Bike of the 9th universe.. I travel on the belt of Athena.. This is where stars are made and sent off to be born among those whom have the pleasure of gazing at their beautiful luster.. It is also the place where stars still shine even after thay have long faded into the blackness spirial abyss they roll on.. My lightcycle, soulcycle, Emotion engine machine streaks me across the cosmos.. I transcend my dreams and become the rider of the new universe.. I cross on over my heavens and pass all that emotion could ever feel.. This moment I see inside my Lightcycle the formula of creation.. Life rides with me.. Where ever I may go.. Because now I know how alive even a beam of light is.. My Lightcycle shines STARFIRE BLUE.. The creation.. The music.. The love.. I feel all of you here.. Watch me blaze! Watch me Blaze!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
