True Teachers

That Indian farm laborer, Plowing, like bulls; his body bare; Bearing heat, that burns like fire, From tireless toils never retire... That lady, like a skeleton, Nation's great victim of famine; Collecting food like a falcon For her hunger-anchored children... That small boy who cycles around, Vending things for minute amount; To see his siblings laurel crowned, Who, like him, feel orphaned and drowned... That little girl, like birds, awakes, Uncaring her physical aches; In severe sun joyfully bakes, Sickly mother-sake her health breaks... Thus, teachers, in life, are endless, The truths they teach are so trend-less; Midst universities countless, Their simple wisdom is boundless...! 28 October 2021
