Poem Title:
Poem
We came here pretentious, egoistic, hyper-inflated with our meager academic laurels and filled with self-adulation of our GPAs You saw us plainly; our minds almost blank like a tabular rasa, but you saw potential and so gently humbled us with IAs Under the aegis of your golden rules, we learnt to know when to be silent and when to “Always say something” We needed to know the anatomy of this new education in order to rectify the pathologies of our time With your fatherly scalpels, you dissected the courses into absorbable pieces You nurtured us and gave us a rather microscopic view of life so we can appreciate the people around us Even when the rigors of the academics struck us dumb, you were there to repolarise our neurons with your fraternal voice; “Think folks!” When complacency and indolence set in, you shook us up in a booming tone “It’s your job to know!” and whet our hunger for knowledge You gave us faith and pushed us to our limits till we saw distinctions right ahead of us When we were almost tired and the world saw us hyperventilating and palpitating with fear of referrals, You transfused us with more knowledge, healed us and saved us at the phase of irreversible shock and resuscitated us to be the best we could be When we were back on our feet and had something to offer, you stood by, reminding us never to judge others especially our patients But to strive to put a smile on the faces of others As if that were not enough, your chemoprophylaxis for us was holistic enough To instill in our hearts a strong sense of selflessness with high doses of patriotism running through our veins Indeed your love for us is broad spectrum. Today our hearts are filled with utmost gratitude For you have placed us at an academic altitude So we can have something to offer our generation Our lips will continue in ceaseless veneration At your polymorphic roles in our lives For you are our teachers, our parents and our role models We may twist and turn the queen’s language in your praise We may shower gifts and awards We may mimic your voices and behave like you All we want to say is “We deeply love you, our dear lecturers.”
