SuperMan

The day you finally get to answer a math question in class,

you would get an applause for doing it so well

Your fellow backseat boys would be proud of you,

You saved the day

You didn’t let the teacher soak them in embarrassment,

He always found delight in doing that

That day you would look like superman,

Your uniform would become a robe

And the front seat girls would look at you in shock

But no,

You knew this shine was just for a day

It was Math after all,

But then you felt good,

For this day you too were called intelligent

That day you understood,

that even the dead could rise again
