Mathematics

"Mathematics-you must-
Study mathematics!"
He poofed, his eyes
Heavy-laden with anger-
Barely fitting their sockets
Like jack-in-the-box,
"Get it? It's Math or
Nothing", he said, I nodded
Unbothered, I nodded-
His bother- "Get me
The whip, go on your knees"
I picked up the snake, it
Gave me his venom; his
Pronged desires have
Crippled my will. Dish me
Arithmetics, Algebra,
Kinetics. Pythagoras will weep
At Theorem's funeral, Galileo
Will curse this honest criminal-
I am a poet,
I am the truth, tell Mathematics
I am his root.
