Math-O-Phobia

As a child I was scared of Maths

I hated it with all my will

I remember freezing with the chills of maths question paper

I remember remembering the equation

I revised a lots of times so that I almost memorised it, only to forget it on that day

As an adult I got to know about

Religious scriptures, being burnt by people

Who were scarred because of them for so long

And I wonder if I could have burnt my math textbook that casually

Cause in the land we live in where we talk in terms of numbers,

I think, that Maths has become a religion

Just, so important, yet so void to break my and so many other hearts

So, if maths has to be a religion

And I am an atheist

Will you join me?
