-Poem-
By: **ril *******
The day to day life of a teacher could be described
As an endless effort of sacrifices looped in
Order to survive.
Pinned on this ravenous world of
Opinions. These venomous spurs of aliased knives to the
Hearts of the righteous.
Students come and go and come and go and come and stay
And learn about the basics of life which they dismiss in favor of the
Infamous search bar.
They run it through their minds like a looped playlist,
Laid out in a trash bin that's their memory bank as their elders spoon feed information
Down their throat.
One side cares about the other's future.
One side efforts to make it all work out.
It's a one-sided relationship. Don't lie, don't deny.
Because you know, there's nothing to lie about.
