Rules When Schools Consist of Religious Fools

Many schools consist of religious fools
Arrogant teachers and misguided ambition
With 23 years of teaching experience
My transaction reflects five rules

Rule 1
Your colleagues are not your friends
They will turn on you from time to time

Rule 2
Watch for hypocrites
There are those who claim holiness
But are filthy inside

Rule 3
There are those who judge everybody
Because they have given up on their own dreams

Rule 4
Teachers will hate you 
When your dream is bigger than theirs

Rule 5
Those that judge learners based on their skin colour
And their religious preference
That is eternal fire

Many schools consist of religious fools
Arrogant teachers and misguided ambition
With 23 years of teaching experience
My transaction reflects five rules
