Numbers...

We don't realize it sometimes,
And sometimes we realize it clearly,
That Numbers control our lives,
And they play around with our emotions,
To trick us into losing our minds.

We have scientifically theorized that there is no limit,
That Numbers just cannot end,
Yet we tend to focus on a certain limit,
To push ourselves to reaching it,
Or hold back and call ourselves failures for not doing so.

In education, our most admirable limit is 100,
And anything under it is a failure,
And take that 1 out,
Then it REALLY is a fail,
Yet some of us try so hard to reach that successive limit that,
We tend to fail at defining the importances of Life.

In economics, our most adored limit is of intimidation,
And anything under it is lesser than someone else,
Who now has a more dignified face in the world,
Compared to ourselves,
Yet some of us try so hard to attain those paper values
To an Unreachable limit that,
We tend to fail at defining the values of Life.

We tend to make Numbers our lives,
And values of Numbers over the values of lives,
Because it's not the strong but the Number 1 that survives,
While forgetting the moral values for which we had begun our strives.
The values we imagined of a Good Life,
So that everyone (including us) may live happily Alive.
