The Quarrel by Nazlı Ercan



A girl opens a green covered math book and hears…



Do not assume that

We are alike

We might have the same digits

Yet we are unlike.



You,

Are the uglies

With your radical signs

Hanging from your clumsy sides.



To stay with us

Side by side

Go to the calculator

And get simplified



Uglies:



You call yourself pretty

Yet you are ordinary

Buttering the people up

You have lost your identity



Pretties:


What is wrong with

Being simple

Rather than complex

And hard to handle



Your appearance

Is a mask

Which scares the people

And bores the math





Uglies:



Do not try to

Simplify everything

The hardships in the life

Qualify the effort to try



The pretties blush and the girl closes the book.
