TEACHER

Teacher, you did not tell me, that many wanted to kill me, kill my mind and body, and children in the future. 
Teacher, you did not warn me, of the poisons they sell, how they can cause me to get ill, that some things are not good for the body and mind. 
Teacher, you did not help me learn that choosing a perfect love, will make me feel well, and grow into a perfect example of how to live for myself and others as well. 
Teacher, you taught me stuff I never use, stuff that has no use to me and I forgot as well. 
Teacher, you should have warned me of the evil that tries to kill my soul and body and mind. 
Teacher, I hope I taught you about some of the failures, I suffered and others as well, and I hope in the future you teach stuff that really matters and will help others reach a full positive life.
Lifting prayers to God, today and always.
