Solomon Ochwo-Oburu Poet Acrostic

I Fail Examinations

I am hated by my teacher supposed to guide me

Frequently he boxes me in the head saying it is that of a cow
All the time he pinches my mouth saying is like rubbish 
In class I am a bright hard working student, though
Low or failed grades are not my standards

Every learner laughs at me when the lion comes in
Xavier the head teacher, too has a stone heart
Angry I often become when he ignores my complain
Many times he says my head is like a coconut pod
Insults have dug deep wounds in my heart
Not a day passes without pinching my heart
Acts of teachers without pedagogical skills they are!
Truly I am not foolish as a cow
Ignorant I am not
On the whole it is my teacher who carries the head
Not me, because it is him who
Sets questions I do not know the answers
