Mr Slim

He was a born teacher From birth destined to be You'd know by his phene. In capitalist-run schools He's taught for many years Earning pennies for labour. Three years a beneficiary On stipend of N-power teach The Program axed by corruption. Then long a community teacher He's rendering public service For little pay out of community levy. He's adept; he got more papers Hoping for full employment With satisfaction in the job. He got a conversion to EdoStar State-run, two-year probationer On the barest wage. On his appointment In the civil service, he got The news of his careerlong pursuit. The government is youth-centric On account of his age, maybe his status Or affiliation, he's disqualified. Meanwhile politikers in the council Of politricks make millions By the seconds chattering all day.
