Queen of the Sciences
I first met her in elementary school,
She was amazing, helping me count beyond two;
But as time went by, she became far from cool.
To get by in today’s world, a man needs her;
She is complex: a man cannot fully understand her;
“Queen of the Sciences”, they call her.
She is part of a civilization’s culture:
Her touch is visible in the architecture of infrastructure;
She has left her mark on technology,
And played a part in wars with no apology.
She is no stranger to change:
As the years go by, she gains;
A queen whose massiveness is beautiful,
And whose beauty is wonderful.
She makes planners tellers of fortune,
And traders, earners of fortune.
Historians know her well:
With her assistance, they have stories to tell.
She is so majestic,
Her subjects, prolific;
Who is this queen?
She is mathematics!
