My Teacher!!!
“A teacher, taught our ignorance the path to civilization,
respect all.”
Felix. O Joseph
MY TEACHER!
Am a poet, true you taught me
Flourishing in knowledge am like fountain
Empowering me, you I climbed mountains
I command, you made me captain
My crudeness, your rod refined
Your white chalk, brightened my ignorance
Idle fingers, your instructions gave a job
Enduring patience, you guided my steps
Through life’s stepping stone
My home laid the stones you built to a citadel
Worth in much, my value you enhanced
Who am I, without you?
Yes! A tower alluring universal appeal
Contempt as leprous, before all you seem
Yet all crave of you as a need
A profession, disdain will not touch
In their hapless myopia, all forget you
A midwife and nurturer of many a profession
With peanuts, your welfare is gratified
Hastening your demise
A Quick trip to heaven for a reward
Must your reward ultimately be celestial?
Alas! So is the expectation
Be told! Your heaven stars here
Giving your all, civilization is celebrated
Yet you are empty as castrated
Unfair has never fair to you
From scum, comes you gratification
Your attraction, a distraction of the past
Abused, muzzled, and trampled
Little wonder, your strike cripples
Yet, for love, you are passionate to teach
An inner beauty your travails cannot extinguish
What a consistent specimen to service humanity
Truly, your profession is noble
Teachers are not made, but are born
Rare in trait, next to none
Your inputs, speaks like evidence
Material wealth, crumble before your worth
Kings and and nations must sing to your praise
Twenty one gun salute, an army parade, cant make up
My teacher! We know your worth
Dear teacher, we feel your pain
My teacher, not long your reward will rain
Brace up, and enjoy gain
Your due season, always must reign
You are never fake, just knowledge you bake
If I rule the world, you I will take
My teacher, I love you
Sincerely, our love appreciates you.
