Tame the Bushes In Them
The successful teacher
Sees in every pupil rough bushes
Dotted with flowers of the future
He guides the pupil to weed out
The witch weeds with hoes and cutlass
to enhance flowering and fruition
The successful teacher
adds earthworms underneath
for farmyard manure for growth
But those who fail in the job
add fire to the bushes in the pupil
what a lamentation for society follows!
Tame the bushes in them
the measure of success is simple
teacher deteriorates as his pupils rise
