A Simple Mathematics

Mathematics can be brainstorming and headcracking It can be extremely complex When you're counting the last number A mistake will spoil the whole thing When you're counting the last coin When you're counting the last days When you're counting the expectations you haven't fulfilled When you're counting the number of mistakes you've made When you're counting the number of friends that have gone When you're counting the number of prayers you've murmured Oh, oh,life is in tension with numbers too
