I am more than
the world’s stupid numbers
From the zero
to infinity,
From alpha,
theta, beta to pie,
Once you too
did, where today I stand,
What did you
do, who held your hand?
Those angles
and algebra,
Those cells
and vertebra, I am all
I am more than the world’s
stupid numbers
From the red
marks to the crosses
From profits
to the losses
Some lessons I
forgot,
Yesterday that
you taught
Those perimeters
and centimeters
Those cooling
agents and heaters, I am all
I am more than the world’s
stupid numbers
For you have
measure of my excellence
And I hate
your negligence
The reading
out lessons aloud
Your feeling
of being proud
The fear of
the rejection,
The answer to
every question, I am all
I am more than the world’s
stupid numbers
The squares,
equations, atoms and neurons
For all you
could call ‘morons’
The cubes that
I forgot
The scolding
still does rot
From Chanakya
to Alexander
Every place I wander,
I am all
I am more than the world’s
stupid numbers
The maps,
crops, land and the soil
How to convert
bauxite into aluminum foil
The diary
notes to be signed
The anger of
your devious mind
From environment
to literature,
Body language
to humble stature, I am all
I am more than the world’s
stupid numbers
For your
arrogance and my parent’s shame
For things I don’t
know, the accumulated defame
The insult,
tears, failures and pain
Even a decade
passed, but memories remain
The speech, extempore
and debate,
The income tax
and rebate, I am all
