Stand firm in your refusal to remain conscious during algebra. In real life, I assure you, there is no such thing as algebra.

We may always depend on it that algebra, which cannot be translated into good English and sound common sense, is bad algebra.

Maths
Algebra and Geometry are the two branches of maths
Which makes us think and we are in a fuss!
It is the best subject of education
For achieving good marks we need
dedication, determination and devotion
Algebra is well known for its equation,
Geometry for its proofs and theorems.
If we practise these subjects regularly
And master these coming out with flying colours
We will be someone like Aryabhatta or Pythagoras.

Vivien’s Song
at the l.l.a. examination
In Algebra, if Algebra be ours,
x and x2 can ne'er be equal powers,
Unless x=1, or none at all.
It is the little error in the sum,
That by and by will make the answer come
To something queer, or else not come at all.
The little error in the easy sum,
The little slit across the kettle-drum,
That makes the instrument not play at all.
It is not worth correcting: let it go:
But shall I? Answer, Prudence, answer, no.
And bid me do it right or not at all.

Mathematical Reasons
We have algebra and geometry,
And all the waters of education.
Long summers possess long issues,
The doors and windows open for the long-life.
Forming a reason for living is inside nature,
Natural reasons turn into recognised truths;
Returning the gestures of the night.
How do players of the night relax?
With algebra is a letter for the night,
And geometry shows us its shape.

Men are liars. We'll lie about lying if we have to. I'm an algebra liar. I figure two good lies make a positive.

It is hard to convince a high-school student that he will encounter a lot of problems more difficult than those of algebra and geometry.

At the age of 12, I developed an intense interest in mathematics. On exposure to algebra, I was fascinated by simultaneous equations and read ahead of the class to the end of the book.

The Real Thing
A mongoose can smile at a cobra
But that cobra will always be a snake
Diamante can shine like a diamond
But you know, like I know
That rock will be fake
Its the real thing
The real thing
Nothing but the real thing
Its real
You can xerox the mona lisa
Deadpan da vinci in every detail
Might beat customs on a home-made visa
But false papers
Only gets you in jail
Its the real thing
The real thing
Nothing but the real thing
Its real
Life wears a smile on its face
But it comes with a sting in its tail
Make believe fables have their place
But only a fool. only a fool
Believes fairy tales
I heard all the lies that they tell ya
phone me baby. the cheques in the mail
Well as fantasy. it may please ya
As the real thing
It does nothing but fail
Its the real thing
The real thing
Nothing but the real thing
Its real
Its the real thing
The real thing
Nothing but the real thing
Its real

It Is Not
Conscious of structure.
Conscious of order, law and discipline.
Conscious of those to whom is given respect.
Conscious of tradition and ideals...
And the effect this has on one's mindset.
Conscious of a faith that goes much deeper,
Than the faking of an acceptance of rituals.
Conscious of life,
And the limits of it lived.
Conscious are those,
Who are aware that this life...
Is much more than it is perceived,
It is!
Since it is not what we have been led to believe.
And a consciousness of those conscious of this,
Is what has been received.

I sort of was good at writing essays. I was never very good at mathematics, and I was never very good at algebra. I loved science, but I wasn't sure of it.

A simple love
Pure love can’t be gamble
The body should not crumble
It should always stand erect
You got to stand firm and select
There is no chance for refusal or reluctance
It may find favor at its inductance
It is time to fulfill the promises
We must see it that it got no near misses
It can’t b weighed for any gain
Those efforts may go into vain
It has its own merits and demerits
We need to cultivate positive habits
It has always something to give
Not to harbor but always to forgive
It has its own strength to survive
We need to strengthen and revive
Love has message for all
It has meaning of full invitation and call
I may not remain as symbolic gesture
It will create its own secured future
Love to rule and love to last
It must move on and very fast
At any given time, you must stand fast
No doubts at any time must be cast

Alcove
I notice an alcove and enter it,
Alas it carries light upon light.
The algebra of life can exist,
Fear and awe murder us still.
In this united effort we stay
In the centre of loving health
In this unique alcove which we entered.
May the world be shy, everlasting
With happiness, as I exit the room.
