I am more than the world’s stupid numbers: POEM FOR THE MIDDLE SCHOOL TEACHERS!

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
