Educators of our nation,
Do you all feel like there is enough
Gusto or gestation? I don’t.
I see every day, lazy individuals
Without a shred of faith, faith that they
Will make their students shine bright one
Day. Tear the shackles of mediocrity
And become something bigger. Now I
See that I’ve been wrong all along,
Those shackles are on your ankles, and
Even though you may say that we don’t
Work hard enough, ha! You should work
Harder on your bluff! I can see straight through
Your crooked smiles and nervous laugh, because
At the end of the day, aren’t we another dollar
In your bank? Please, fall out of the cycle of
The norm and turn manic teaching into peace.
Find that student or students that make it worth
While, all the while, teaching us how to be
Better human beings, instead of wild, animals
Without better sense of direction. Have open-
Mindedness and affection.
After all, you can change lives,
Maybe one day you can change mine.
