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?
