My Four-Cornered Room

Staring at my learners in my four-cornered room I see the dynamics of life as I zoom into The shadow that’s not displayed Some smoke weed Not realizing that they will bleed in the workplace Some enjoy cough syrup with a cool drink Not realizing that this simple addition will Change the transaction in their lives Later, it turns to tablets yet learners Think that they can control their habit Like a rabbit, some will hop from experiment to experiment Keeping themselves intoxicated while growing in stupidity Staring at my learners in my four-cornered room I see some learners grow in intelligence Some study daily Knowing that they will enjoy their future job Their passion shines through in the classroom Because they do the hard work when no one is looking Staring at my learners in my four-cornered room I see the lazy ones trying to feed off the strong ones Procrastination will lead to a weak spell This is something your future will tell you Break free because you are the future and It all starts in this four corned room Mark Frank Copyright 2023
