Number Games

Decimal:    Your honour,today we must insist,
                 Punish the traitor in our midst .
                 One of us,they've gone on to start ,
                 Their own system,bases apart.

Binary  :     My lord,zero they called an unnatural one,
                 One too many thought he'd amount to none.
                 When placed higher,one's proved true,
                 The added advantage of the power of two.

Decimal:     True to our name,we sat to mull,
                  has our bigger base come to amount to null?
                  The remaining 8,don't we also amount ?
                  We ask,how can anyone upon you count ?

 Binary :     Lost among many,we made them a hero,
                 Isn't life about being the one or a zero ?
                 The need of the  hour with the IT scene,
                 when people talk more with a machine.

Decimal:    Put one and one together and there's one to carry,
                 No sign of negative numbers in their system binary.
                 In a world so grey,they're black and white ,
                 Have they bit off more than they can byte?
                 
Binary :     In a world  today where values are dying,
                Hanging on a string,every bit we're trying.
                We teach a lesson that in life holds true,
                Even negatives are complementary two.



Judge :    After contemplating and hearing your case,
               And  even with all  the problems you face,
               I'll ask a question to show you your place,
               Without each other can you write your own base ?
