ZERO IS THE HERO

God created the heaven and the earth

In the beginning

It was formless, empty and silent

Emptiness and silent

Implied a blurred concept of zero

Yet nobody knew what zero is

And was hovering invisibly

In the course of time

Reasoning began to emerge

Although mathematics had sprouted out

Greek Pythagoras laid the base of geometry

And Roman numeral

Laid the foundation of mathematics

 Yet the presence of something was missing

Though logic was emphasized

Yet the essence of mathematics remained vague

For many ages

A thin veil was still lingering and preventing

A scholar named Arayabhatta

Happened to born in a humble family

In the Far East land called Hindustan

He tore the curtain of ignorance

From top to bottom

A miracle! Unsolved for ages

Happened to sum up within no time

A marvellous idea, how he rendered

He discovered the funniest thing

He discovered the simplest thing

He solved the toughest thing

He gave the world Zero

The then scholars laughed

 Upon their own wits

Assuming how easy it was

A new era dawned

The zero uncovered

The mysterious of the world

Paving the way

For further discovery

Although zero meant nothing

Yet it plays a pivot role

Hence zero is the hero
