poetry supercedes math:
    humans per day per day 
is a
    human / day^2
This is a measure of the rate of change in 
humans over a period of days.
Mathematically, I make no sense when I read 
this poem... would defeat the point when:
poetry supercedes math...
As we kill and die...   approaching zero.
