Teachers
It’s not fully accredited for all and to the extent
A teacher does
For a child, all that will be and for an adult,
All ever was
It should no longer be ignored that a teacher
Shapes a life
The scope within the duty far extends
Degrees of rife
They are literary prophets that instill a
Code of ethics
And they equally accept both the “norm” and
The eccentrics
Despite common theories, there is no
Teacher’s pet;
For, judgment not they pass, but it’s the
Willing that they let
They earn and deserve much respect; yet, they
Do not demand it
What morally they teach, imperfect homes steal
Like a bandit
No, they are not supreme authority on how
It’s supposed to be
But, they try damn hard to teach our children
For you and me.
