Mathematicians say, ZERO has no value
For ZERO and TWO is TWO
But TWO and ZERO is TWENTY
The value of ZERO makes TWO plenty
Thus, their opinions about ZERO is not true

Mathematicians say, you ADD to increase figures
But FOUR plus ZERO equals FOUR not FOURS
Life adds each new day to everyday
Yet, noone knows the result of the next day
Noone knows what future holds for us

Mathematicians say, you SUBTRACT to know your age
But noone knows his/her death age
Perhaps, subtract death from life, moon from sun
Each year, we subtract ONE and also plus ONE
Each year, heaven subtract your roles from life's stage

Mathematicians say, study your MULTIPLICATION TABLE
But in life, some couples have not been able
To multiply but look up to God for miracles
The multiplication tables we were taught in schools
Work for few conditions but not stable

Mathematicians say, DIVIDE both sides by coefficient of 'Y'
To get the result and know the actual value of'Y'
But'WHY' are some people tall while some are short?
When it is sunny,'WHY' is the weather always hot?
Some people are rich while some people are poor,'WHY??????'
