Out of every hundred people, those who always know better:
fifty-two.
Unsure of every step:
almost all the rest. Ready to help,
if it doesn't take long:
forty-nine. Always good,
because they cannot be otherwise:
fourwell, maybe five. Able to admire without envy:
eighteen. Led to error
by youth {which passes}:
sixty, plus or minus. Those not to be messed with:
four-and-forty. Living in constant fear
of someone or something:
seventy-seven. Capable of happiness:

not many more
than wise in foresight. Getting nothing out of life except things:
thirty

and without a flashlight in the dark:
eighty-three, sooner or later. Those who are just:
quite a few, thirty-five. But if it takes effort to understand:
three. Worthy of empathy:
ninety-nine. Mortal
