Serious Premise, Serious Divide

Take a starting point, cut it in half:
you've got a finish line.

Recipes are ingredients 
for cooking the books.

Aphorisms hue 
the left bank.

Withdrawal can't debit
the debt limited limestone.

Arbitration carries 
an arbitrary weight.

Certainty hates company
as equity shares holders.

Serious premises
fence serious divides.
